"The Life" is an award-winning musical with a book by David Newman, Ira Gasman and Cy Coleman, music by Coleman, and lyrics by Gasman.

Based on an original idea by Gasman, the show explores the underbelly of Times Square's 42nd Street, inhabited by pimps and prostitutes, druggies and dealers, and runaways and street people in the era prior to its Disneyfication.

The show's first production was at the off-Broadway Westbeth Theatre in 1990. After 21 previews, the Broadway production, directed by Michael Blakemore, opened on April 26, 1997 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, where it ran for 466 performances. Among a large cast of mostly unknowns were Pamela Isaacs, Chuck Cooper, Lillias White, and Sam Harris, winner of the first "Star Search" television competition in 1984. White and Cooper both won Tony awards for their performances in this production.
