Cry For Us All (1970)

Mitch Leigh, William Alfred, and Albert Marre’s 'Cry for Us All' completed its celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Broadhurst Theatre in 1970, remaining a highly prized essential document find for serious lyric stage scholars tracking late-century failures. Masterfully adapting Alfred’s hit play *Hogan's Goat* onto the stage, the emotionally massive, through-sung pop opera turns the corrupt political backrooms and ward boss neighborhoods of 1890 Brooklyn into an active arena of corporate blackmails and tragic choices.
