Home Sweet Homer is a musical with a book by Roland Kibbee and Albert Marre lyrics by Charles Burr and Forman Brown and music by Mitch Leigh.Originally called Odyssey it is one of the most notorious flops in Broadway theatre history. Loosely based on Homeric legend it focuses on Odysseus and Penelope awaiting his return to Ithaca. The show was designed as a vehicle for Yul Brynner who was anxious to duplicate his success in The King and I more than two decades earlier.
