''Cry for Us All'' is a musical with a book by William Alfred and Albert Marre, lyrics by Alfred and Phyllis Robinson, and music by Mitch Leigh. In response to poor advance sales, the title was briefly changed to ''Who to Love''; but the change was abandoned before the play arrived in New York. A sentimental melodrama adapted from Alfred's 1966 hit off-Broadway play, ''Hogan's Goat'', it's set in Brooklyn in May 1890, when the borough still had its own mayor and power-hungry chieftains battled each other for control of the Irish community. Matt Stanton becomes a protégé of the mayor, steals his mistress, and appears to be on his way to a big power grab until his wife interferes with his plans with a few ideas of her own. After eighteen previews, the Broadway production, directed by Marre, opened on April 8, 1970 at the Broadhurst Theatre, where it ran for only nine performances. Conductor Herbert Grossman served as Music Director. The cast included Joan Diener, Helen Gallagher, Tommy Rall, Steve Arlen, Dolores Wilson, Paul Ukena, and Robert Weede, who earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical. The show's set design scored a nod as well. An original cast recording was released on the TS1000 label. A CD was released by Kritzerland. ==Song List== *See No Evil *The End of My Race *How Are Ya Since? *The Mayor's Chair *The Cruelty Man *The Verandah Waltz *Home Free All *The Broken Heart, or The Wages of Sin *The Confessional *Who to Love if Not a Stranger? *Cry for Us All *Swing Your Bag *Call In to Her *That Slavery Is Love *I Lost It *Aggie, Oh Aggie *The Leg of the Duck *This Cornucopian Land *How Are Ya Since?
