The composers of Bye, Bye, Birdie have written
another musical, this one set at a small, football-oriented
college
Professor Fodorski arrives with other immigrants singing a naturalization rag with such lines as “Make us Hungarians /Into Rotarians/Change us Rumanians/To Pennsylvanians”
Frantic to please, professor Fodorski finally reaches his sports-minded students by stating his engineering concepts in football terms and, in the course of demonstrating a principle, turns a mousey student drudge named Bricker into a phenomenal kicker
(Your hip is the fulcrum, multiply by the force of the lever, your knee)
The team becomes a sensation, as do Bricker and the astonished professor
This show makes a comment on education today by putting it in terms of a bright and marvelous musical comedy
This musical has one of the most beautiful love songs ever written for a musical, the haunting Once Upon a Time
Book by Mel Brooks. Music by Charles Strouse. Lyrics by Lee Adams
