The Rothschilds is a musical with a book by Sherman Yellen, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and music by Jerry Bock.
Based on The Rothschilds by Frederic Morton, it tells of the rise of the Rothschild family from humble beginnings in Germany, to their founding of their financial empire and growing political influence under the guidance of patriarch Mayer Rothschild, to their assistance in funding Napoleon's defeat, and how they secure a declaration of rights for European Jews in the midst of an oppressive era.
The Rothschilds was the last collaboration between Bock and Harnick.[1] First produced in 1970, the show was a step forward in the careers of Hal Linden, Jill Clayburgh, Chris Sarandon and Robby Benson.
