''Wonderful Town'' is a musical (1953), book written by Joseph A. Fields and Jerome Chodorov, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and music by Leonard Bernstein. Its origins fundamentally come from the collection of autobiographical short stories by Ruth McKenney published in ''The New Yorker'' three years following the incidents portrayed where she and her acting bound sister seek out success from their basement apartment of New York City's Greenwich Village. Fields and Chodorov's ''My Sister Eileen'' (1940 play) is based on the book and the musical results from the play. The only shared aspects of the book and the 1953 musical play plot are the two final two stories in the book which are heavily modified. The stories also served as the basis of two films and a television series. ''Wonderful Town'' premiered on Broadway in 1953, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and spawned three New York City Center productions between 1958 and 1966, a 1986 West End production and 2003 Broadway revival. It is a lighter piece than Bernstein's later works, ''West Side Story'' and ''Candide'', but none of the songs have become as popular. ==Synopsis== ;Act I During the summer of 1935 in Greenwich Village, New York, a tour guide leads a group of sightseers on a tour of Christopher Street and its colorful residents.
