- Summary
- Program devoted to the 1951 Broadway show Flahooley, a political satire that ran for only four weeks but is fondly remembered by musical theater devotees. Produced by Cheryl Crawford, the show featured songs by E.Y. Harburg and Sammy Fain, and starred Barbara Cook in her Broadway debut. This program consists of a talk on the show's history, comments on Harburg by his daughter-in-law Deena Rosenberg, interviews with Cook and Fain's son Frank, and performances of several songs from the show. A question and answer session with the audience concludes the program.
