New Living
Newspaper was an updated version of the 1930's musical "Living Newspaper". The production
opened around March 4, 1992 at the Ensemble Studio Theater, home to many of Shel Silverstein's
one-act plays in the past. The original had music and lyrics by one Ray Leslee, but for this new
production Silverstein contributed lyrics as well as music, written in collaboration with Andrew
Howard. The show was reviewed by Frank Rich of the New York Times Theater Review but
it does not go into any further detail about Silverstein's contribution to the revue. However, if time
warrants, I will post the review in its entirety.
