Fiddler on the Roof. She Loves Me. Fiorello!.
All those shows, and many others, sprung from the brilliant mind of lyricist Sheldon Harnick (1924-2023), the proud recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award®, and Grammy Award for his contributions to the American Musical Theater. As a lyricist, his works include Fiorello!, Tenderloin, Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me, The Apple Tree, and The Rothschilds. With composer Jerry Bock, he created such songs as “Sunrise, Sunset,” “Tradition,” “Vanilla Ice Cream,” “When Did I Fall in Love,” and “Artificial Flowers.” He passed away in June 2023 at the age of 99.
In commemoration of his 100th birthday, 54 Below will celebrate his life and legacy in an all-star concert that will feature a musical tapestry of his wit, wisdom, and words.
Join us as Broadway artists who had the great fortune to collaborate with Sheldon Harnick recount their time with him and vividly bring his songs to life.
