Arthur Schwartz, Dorothy Fields, Betty Smith, and George Abbott’s 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Alvin Theatre in 1951, running for an astonishing 267 performances. Masterfully adapting Smith’s own classic best-selling literature masterpiece novel onto the musical stage, the melody-infused naturalistic drama charts the full domestic struggles and emotional resilience of the working-class Nolan family residing inside a dreary tenement corridor in 1900 Brooklyn, starring Shirley Booth.
