Sing for Your Supper

Robert H. Gordon, Harold Rome, and Ned Lehac’s 'Sing for Your Supper' exploded onto the Broadway stage at the Adelphi Theatre in 1939, running for an accomplished 60 performances to stand as the final musical revue blockbuster mounted under the auspices of the Federal Theatre Project. Completely discarding traditional linear book formatting, the high-octane production features an episodic parade of sophisticated comedic sketches, synchronized precision tap dancing routines, and pro-labor folk anthems mocking mid-century corporate metrics.
