Carnival (1961), a musical play by Michael
Stewart (book), Bob Merrill (music, lyrics). [
Imperial Theatre, 719 perf.; NYDCC Award.] The orphan Lili ( Anna Maria Alberghetti) joins a French carnival and falls for an egotistical magician ( James Mitchell), but she is truly loved by the bitter puppeteer ( Jerry
Orbach). Yet when he speaks to Lili through his puppets, his true emotions are revealed and she learns to love him back.
Notable songs: Love Makes the World Go Round; Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris; Always Always You; Mira. David
Merrick produced this enchanting musical tale, based on the 1953 film
Lili, which was enhanced by Gower
Champion's inventive staging that created a circuslike atmosphere with lights and movement.
Bob MERRILL [né Henry Lavan] (1921–98), a native of Atlantic City, first found fame as the author of many pop songs on the charts in the 1950s. His early Broadway scores were for
New Girl in Town (1957) and
Take Me Along (1959), both based on Eugene
O'Neill plays. Merrill provided lyrics for Jules Styne's music in
Funny Girl (1964) and
Sugar (1972). His other scores include
Henry, Sweet Henry (1967) and cult failures
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1966) and
Prettybelle (1971).
