A Time for Singing

A Time for Singing

.

The original Broadway production began a series of ten previews at The Broadway Theatre on May 12 1966, and opened officially on May 21 1966, running for a total of only 41 performances. It closed on June 25 1966.

An Alexander H. Cohen production, it has been called "probably the best musical he ever produced." Cohen used an "extravagant publicity machine" to bring attention to the show, with the first 100 ticket buyers receiving "folding chairs and a picnic lunch catered by the Brasserie restaurant." The show takes place in the memory of Protestant minister David Griffith, recalling conflict within the Morgan family over the possible formation of a miners' union within the village, and the romance between Griffith himself and Angharad of the Morgans, who ultimately marries the mine owner instead.

Ken Mandelbaum argued that "a Time for Singing" pointed the way to later grand musicals like "Les Misérables" and "Grand Hotel" in both its staging and its music, which was "richer and more serious" than other shows of the period, with a "cinematic fluidity and continuous movement" that later became common in 1980s musicals.Mandelbaum, Ken. "Not Since Carrie: Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops." Pages 298-299. St. Martin's Press, 1992.]
