Fiorello Text

Fiorello

The Spring 2002 HGP Drama Production was a rather unique situation. At first, the Drama Society was set on doing the famous show "Grease," but after the rights to the show were denied, the Drama Society had to select a different musical. After weeks of decision making, the HGP Drama Society finally selected the rather unknown show titled "Fiorello." Honoring Fiorello LaGuardia, who eventually became the mayor of New York, the show included wonderful musical numbers and delighted crowds with a clever story.
