Johnny Johnson (1936), a play with music by Paul
Green (book, lyrics), Kurt
Weill (music). [44th Street Theatre, 68 perf.] While Johnny Johnson ( Russell Collins) is a quiet, dedicated pacifist, he eventually finds himself fighting in World War I, where he is wounded. As an act of protest, he sprays the Allied High Command with laughing gas. The act lands him in a mental institution, where he and his fellow inmates pretend they are great statesmen and establish a League of World Republics. When he is released, Johnny returns home to peddle nonmartial toys in his war‐happy village.
Notable songs: Johnny's Song; Song of the Guns; Democracy March. Called by Stanley
Green a “daring fusion of music and satiric fantasy,” the
Group Theatre production mirrored the widespread pacifist feelings of the 1930s. Weill's first American musical, it was a failure but enjoyed frequent revivals away from Broadway and remained a regular attraction in Iron Curtain countries.
