Summary Using the astonishingly fresh music of Jerome Kern and the lyrics of over a dozen of his collaborators, including Oscar Hammerstein II, Dorothy Fields, and P.G. Wodehouse, The Land Where The Good Songs Go weaves the stories of three couples (how they meet, fall in love, and face life's inevitable challenges) into a theatrical song cycle that sparkles with wit, tenderness, and warmth.
