A Broadway Musical is a musical with a book by William F. Brown lyrics by Lee Adams and music by Charles Strouse. The Broadway production closed after 14 previews and only one performance on December 21 1978. The plot about a sleazy white theatre producer’s attempt to adapt an African-American writer’s serious play for a commercial stage musical was inspired by Adams and Strouse’s real-life experiences with their 1964 Broadway production of Golden Boy.
