This ensemble musical chronicles nearly four decades in the life of an Everyman Joseph Taylor Jr. from cradle through a mid-life discovery of who he is and what his life is truly about. The first musical to be staged by a director who also served as choreographer (the legendary Agnes de Mille) Allegro followed a unique structural format traveling from Joe's birth through his childhood from college dorm to marriage altar and on to his career; from the tranquility of his small Midwestern hometown to the hectic din of big city life in a series of vignettes and musical sequences dazzling in their simplicity and stunning in their impact. Ahead of its time theatrically Allegro remains timeless in its appeal.
