| BROADWAY AT THE UCA |
 Street Scene, by Kurt Weill, is a Broadway musical or, more precisely, an American opera about working-class life in New York City in 1946, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Elmer Rice with music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Langston Hughes. The musical was the recipient of the first Tony Award given for Best Original Score and fuses traditional European opera with Broadway musical theatre, mixing in jazz, blues, spiritual, and 'Rogers and Hammerstein' styles. A story of love, passion, greed and death, Street Scene follows the lives of four characters during one evening and the next afternoon when mounting tensions eventually build into a tragedy of epic proportions.
