Look to the Lilies was a short-lived Broadway musical with a book by Leonard Spigelgass lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Jule Styne.Based on both the novel and film versions of Lilies of the Field it tells the story of a group of German nuns headed by a determined dauntless Mother Superior who manage to get an African American itinerant handyman/jack-of-all-trades named Homer Smith to build a chapel for the New Mexico community in which they live despite not having money to pay him.
