Streets of Old New York Edward Crosby Wells

"A musical melodrama set in the late 19th century, Streets of Old New York is a piece of old fashioned "throw popcorn at the villain" type of entertainment. The audience more than enjoyed this play; they howled with laughter! The music was all of the period and surprisingly stands the test of time. Mr. Wells wrote a gem of a piece that takes you back to the old Penelope Pitstop on the train track days and yet still writes in a way that anybody from the 21st century can enjoy and understand. A smart producer should pick this piece up for an extended Broadway run. It could bring back fun and innocence to Broadway as well as have a long life in community theatres and the school circuit."-NYC STAGE PAGES, July 2004
