Only two of them made it to Broadway. The first was Kwamina (54th Street; Oct. 23, '61; 32), which contained Adler's first independently written score. It was conceived for his wife, Sally Ann Howes; at a party, Adler had discussed African nationalism with Adlai Stevenson, then ambassador to the United Nations, and then told television writer Robert Allan Aurthur of his conversation: Kwamina would be Aurthur's first and only musical book.
