has gloss | eng: Pipe Dream is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics and book by Oscar Hammerstein II. Its conception is tied up with unrealized plans by other collaborators to make a stage musical based upon John Steinbeck's best-selling novel Cannery Row. Steinbeck, who was writing the libretto for that work, discontinued, and instead began creating the story of a sequel novel, Sweet Thursday. Rodgers and Hammerstein acquired rights to make a musical out of this story, under the title Pipe Dream, which is a pun on one of the aspects of the stage decor—an old boiler-pipe that becomes the abode of the lead female character. |
