2. Street Scene

Youthful desire, forbidden love, and brutal vengeance simmer to an explosion in the diverse melting pot of a 1940s New York City tenement. As the heat of the day builds, a family is pushed to an eruption that changes the community forever. Soaring operatic arias and duets rub shoulders with jazz and the jitterbug. With numbers such as Lonely House and Moon-faced, Starry-eyed, its no wonder that Street Scene was awarded Best Original Score at the first Tony Awards in 1947.
