...Manhattan (music by Richard Lewine; lyrics and sketches by Arnold Horwitt; produced by Joseph Hyman) offers gay, lively, irreverent homage to the world's most densely populated island. East Side, West Side, all around the town it darts, its thumb to its nose, but with a slightly dreamy look in its eyes.
