Take Me Along
''Take Me Along'' is a musical based on the Eugene O'Neill play ''Ah, Wilderness'', with music and lyrics by Bob Merrill and book by Joseph Stein and Robert Russell.〔Mandelbaum, Ken.("Ken Mandelbaum's Musicals On Disc: Remembering Bob Merrill" (partial cast list) ) playbill.com, March 1, 1998〕
==Background==
The idea to musicalize ''Ah, Wilderness'' came to David Merrick when George M. Cohan came through St. Louis with the original production of the O'Neill play. (It was rare of Merrick to mention his hometown, as he hated it, and once he refused to fly TWA to the coast because it flew over St. Louis). While directing ''The Matchmaker'' in 1955, he began working on ''Connecticut Summer''. Things came to a halt when lyricist/librettist John La Touche died suddenly. But in 1957, an adaptation of another O'Neill play, ''Anna Christie'', came to town, called ''New Girl in Town''. Merrick decided to ask the composer, Bob Merrill, to take another stab at it. On May 30, 1959, it was announced that Jackie Gleason was cast in ''Connecticut Yankee''. Even though Merrick was sacrificing artistic compromise for the seat-selling Gleason, he was willing to give it up.
