Anthropologists, artists, businessmen, politicians, and of course composers and lyricists have all wrestled with the complex subject of business - its leaders, its workers, its practices and its relationship to society.

This show takes you on a musical journey from the 1930s to the beginning of the 21st century. Songs by composers such as Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields, Stephen Sondheim, Kander and Ebb, Jason Robert Brown and James Taylor reflect the role of business and its practices in society - ethical, unethical, greedy, inspiring, compromised and forward thinking…
Money makes the world go round. Kander & Ebb
It takes a lot of men to make a gun. Stephen Sondheim
I hear the human race, is fallin’ on its face… Rodgers & Hammerstein
And always let your conscience be your guide. Ned Washington & Leigh Harline
