On the Town is a musical based on the 1944 ballet Fancy Free, developed by Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins with book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. New York City’s pomp and fanfare sets the stage for this story of three sailors looking for love in a whirlwind 24-hour adventure, before heading off to battle in World War II. Bernstein introduced several popular and classic songs which remain some of his biggest Broadway hits to date. The appealing musical score, youthful exuberance of characters and the unique moment in history make On the Town a true American classic!
