Sammy Smile Music

An Original Musical Version of the Children's Classic

Music by Neil Fishman Book and Lyrics by Harvey Edelman

Commissioned by the Pittsburgh Playhouse Junior Children's Theatre, this is a new musical version of the children's classic in which the clever Puss helps Clarence, the farmer's son, discover his unrealized potential; while his bumbling brothers plot against him; and a terribly comic female monster threatens mayhem upon the local population; and all ends happily!

"The music and lyrics are absolutely charming! I see and hear so much that has to be rejected for simple lack of quality that it was a delight to come across the two songs "Best Foot Forward" and "More Than Meets the Eye." They are wonderful."
