This 1937 fierce and riveting musical comedy about the fight of the everyman against the power of corruption has a history as exciting as the musical itself. It was originally a part of the Federal Theatre Project, and was directed by Orson Welles and produced by John Houseman

In Steeltown, USA, laborer Larry Foreman (Tony Yazbeck) struggles to unionize fellow steel workers against mounting attacks from a greedy industrialist, who uses his power to influence nearly everyone else in town.

Marc Blitzstein
’s play in music was famously shut down on the eve of opening night by federal authorities fearing its pro-labor stance.
