ABOUT FIORELLO!
The name’s LaGuardia!
Long before he was worthy of having an airport bear his name, Fiorello LaGuardia was an irascible New Yorker determined to represent the powerless against the all-powerful Tammany Hall. On his way to becoming a beloved mayor, he would face love, loss, and an unwelcoming political machine. This 1959 musical comedy by legendary songwriters Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick and book writers George Abbott and Jerome Weidman took home the Pulitzer Prize and remains as illuminating as ever about the ins, outs, and upside downs of our elections.
