The Me Nobody Knows
''The Me Nobody Knows'' is a musical with music by Gary William Friedman and lyrics by Will Holt. It debuted off-Broadway in 1970 and then transferred to Broadway, making it one of the earliest rock musicals to play on Broadway, and the first Broadway hit to give voice to the sentiments of inner-city American youth. It received the Obie Award and the Drama Desk Award for best New Musical, and Five Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.
==Synopsis==
There is no plot, but the theme is of children in poor neighborhoods of New York City, who are "complex, introspective characters. Each 'I' is an authentic voice saying attention must be paid." The children are self-assertive in the face of difficult lives.〔Jones, John Bush (2004). ''Our Musicals, Ourselves''. UPNE. ISBN 0-87451-904-7, pp. 278-80〕 There are various stories told through song by the cast of 12, 8 black and 4 white. One story is about a 13-year-old boy taking heroin for the first time. Another involves a child shocked to hear a white boy order "milk and a nigger". A boy watches as a drunk black man is taken away in an ambulance after an accident.〔Barnes, Clive. "Stage: Vivid and Honest", ''The New York Times'', May 19, 1970, p. 42〕 In the musical number "If I Had a Million Dollars" the ghetto children ponder what they would do with the money and express "tightwad selfishness to outrageous spending sprees."〔
