This Tony Award-nominated musical is a rare treat for Sondheim fans and features some of his best songs including There Won't Be Trumpets and the title song Anyone Can Whistle. With a book by Arthur Laurents, it tells the story of Cora Hoover Hooper, the greedy and corrupt Mayoress of a small town, who tries to fake a "miracle" to boost her popularity and fill the town coffers with tourist money. But her plan is endangered by Fay Apple, a skeptical nurse who sets 40 inmates free from the local asylum. All will be lost if they can't identify the inmates. But determining who is crazy and who is sane turns out to be more complicated that it appears
