By George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart

Book Overview

""I'd Rather Be Right: A Musical Revue"" is a book written by George S. Kaufman. The book is a collection of songs and sketches that were originally performed on Broadway in 1937. The musical revue is set in Washington D.C. during the Great Depression and follows the story of Franklin D. Roosevelt as he tries to save the country from economic collapse. The songs and sketches are satirical in nature and poke fun at the politicians and social issues of the time. Some of the most popular songs from the revue include ""Have You Met Miss Jones?"" and ""Off the Record"". The book is a great read for anyone interested in musical theater, political satire, or American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
