A Letter to Harvey Milk - The Musical

Work:: A Letter to Harvey Milk (S01534500427)

San Francisco. 1986. When Harry, an amiable but lonely retired kosher butcher fulfills a writing assignment to compose a letter to someone from his past who's dead, he writes not to his late wife Frannie but to Harvey Milk, the first openly gay political leader in California. Barbara, his young lesbian writing teacher at the senior center is stunned. Harry's letter sets off a series of life-changing events that neither could have foreseen. With its soaring score and deeply-felt, surprisingly funny lyrics, this musical deals with issues of friendship and loss, the grip of the past, and the hard-won acceptance set in motion by the most unexpected people.
