Around this production
Wildcat is a musical with a book by N. Richard Nash, lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, and music by Cy Coleman. The original production opened on Broadway in 1960, starring a 49-year-old Lucille Ball in her only Broadway show. The show introduced the song "Hey, Look Me Over", which was subsequently performed as a cover version by several musicians. An original cast album was issued by RCA Victor records (LOC-1060).
Cy Coleman, a versatile composer whose background as a jazz pianist gives his work a distinctive sound, arrived on Broadway in the sixties with Lucille Ball’s Wildcat, then did five shows (Little Me, Sweet Charity, Seesaw, I Love My Wife, On the Twentieth Century ) which were hits or at least had decent runs.
