Synopsis

Fiorello! is a musical about the rise to power of New York's Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia (1882 - 1947). Always fighting for the underdog, Fiorello embarks on a mission to take down the crooked politicians of Tammany Hall. With a strong moral compass and a passion for justice, Fiorello navigates his way through double-crossers, political puppets, and romance. One of only 10 musicals to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Fiorello! is a charming musical from the writers of Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me that is sure to sweep audiences off their feet.
