Young Sheldon (Harnick) Tickets

2024 marks the centenary of the birth of Sheldon Harnick, one of the country’s finest lyricists for the American musical. Sheldon, along with his writing partner, Jerry Bock, have contributed some of the greatest musicals written for the Broadway stage, including Fiddler on the Roof, The Apple Tree, and The Rothschilds, to name a few. But long before his Pulitzer Prize and many Tony® Awards, Sheldon was hard at work writing for the Northwestern University WAA-MU shows. And those early revue songs make the basis for our event.

Our revue, Young Sheldon (Harnick), features some of Sheldon’s earliest compositions. They’re full of wit, emotion and silliness. We’ve got a cast of three singers from the worlds of Broadway and cabaret to deliver a rousing evening guaranteed to make us forget the troubles outside 54 Below. All of which will be accompanied by a live pianist! No expense is being paid.

Sheldon’s career started writing in 5th grade:

The turkey has my sympathy

Why must we be so mean

What has the turkey done

That he deserves the guillotine?

Young Sheldon (Harnick) guarantees laughs. No sad songs, no lessons, no grand pronouncements. Just guffaws, howls, and roars of delight. Oh, and don’t forget to bring lots of tissues. Not because you’ll be emotionally laid bare. But because you’ll be crying with laughter.
