Tree Grows in Brooklyn, A (1951), a musical play by Betty Smith, George
Abbott (book), Arthur
Schwartz (music), Dorothy
Fields (lyrics). [Alvin Theatre, 267 perf.] Handsome Johnny Nolan ( Johnny Johnston) is a ne'er‐do‐well whose marriage to sweet, adoring Katie ( Marcia Van Dyke) can only come to an unhappy end. Yet the shiftless Johnny makes an understanding father to his troubled teenage daughter, Francie ( Nomi Mitty). At the same time, Aunt Cissy ( Shirley
Booth) keeps dreaming of her long‐lost love, a gentleman of singular refinement even if he was a bigamist. But when she encounters him again after many years, her dreams, too, are shattered.
Notable songs: Make the Man Love Me; He Had Refinement; I'll Buy You a Star; I'm Like a New Broom; Look Who's Dancing. The musical version of Smith's best‐selling novel had uncommonly fine songs and a brilliant, wistfully comic performance by Booth, who stopped the show nightly with “He Had Refinement.” But it also had a long and unnecessary ballet and the misfortune to open in a season of stronger than usual competition. The musical has become a cult favorite, particularly for its score.
