Musical :: Written in 1968, based on Arnold Bennett's ‘Buried Alive’, Styne (‘Funny Girl’ & ‘Gypsy’), Harburg (Finian's Rainbow & film "The Wizard Of Oz’) and Johnson ( films ‘Roxie Hart’ & ‘The Grapes Of Wrath’) adapted this story of a celebrated artist, yearning for anonymity. He fakes his own death and assumes his valet's identity but carries on painting - which means his art mysteriously keeps reappearing.
