Mr. Coleman had been represented on Broadway in April 1989 by Welcome to the Club (book by A. E. Hochner and lyrics by A.E. Hochner and Cy Coleman). It lasted 12 performances. book:broadway-musicals-show-by-show-seventh-edition-stanley-green-cary-ginell#p277
Coleman’s up-and-down career resumed almost a decade later with the dismal Welcome to the Club (1989), the fine City of Angels (1989), and the not-so-fine Will Rogers Follies (1991). book:more-opening-nights-on-broadway-a-critical-quotebook-of-compiled-by-steven-suski#p1091
Subsequent musicals include Merlin (1983), Jerry’s Girls (1985), Teddy and Alice (1987), Welcome to the Club (1989), The Secret Garden (1991), and The Goodbye Girl (1993). book:more-opening-nights-on-broadway-a-critical-quotebook-of-compiled-by-steven-suski#p1102

CY COLEMAN less offensive than WELCOME TO THE CLUB, if only marginally better. But Coleman supplied three attractive tunes, At My Side, In the Name of Love, and Ain’t He Cute. book:show-tunes-the-songs-shows-and-careers-of-broadway-s-suskin-steven-suskin-steven#p348
WELCOME TO THE CLUB [April 13, 1989] and WELCOME TO THE CLUB (if THE LIFE, WILL ROGERS FOLLIES [May 1, 1991], and WELCOME TO THE CLUB [April 13, 1989] are any indication, Coleman has an incredibly demeaning attitude toward women.) book:show-tunes-the-songs-shows-and-careers-of-broadway-s-suskin-steven-suskin-steven#p349
