Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley’s 'Stop the World - I Want to Get Off' arrived triumphantly at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway in 1962, running for an astonishing 555 performances and capturing multiple major Tony Award nominations following its hit West End run under David Merrick's banner. Conceived as a highly stylized allegorical musical mosaic tracking a clown-like character climbing the corporate social ladder, the through-sung script features Anthony Newley executing his definitive lead performance, introducing standards like "What Kind of Fool Am I."
