Who did the cover art for this?

Patricia Daniels Al Hirschfeld--he was famous for his caricatures of celebrities.

Does the book contain any revelatory anecdotes about last-minute changes to musicals that have since become integral parts of America's consciousness, as Rodgers' autobiography, Musical Stages, did? I've marveled at how late in the New Haven-Boston tryout circuit it was when someone decided the musical being tried out should be known not as "Away We Go!" but instead by a single word synonym for Sooner State.

Lisa Yes--R & H were brilliant in seeing the need for a change on Friday and having it ready by Monday.
