Set in New York at the turn-of-the-century, “Tenderloin” recounts the efforts of a crusading minister as he attempts to shut down the notorious red-light district on the West Side of Manhattan and the staunch defenders of debauchery out to stop him. The “do-gooder” Reverend Brock is aided by a reporter with a hidden agenda of his own. Described as a ‘gay nineties “Guys and Dolls,”’ “Tenderloin” reunited the authors, director and producers of the Pulitzer Prize-winning smash-hit “Fiorello!” The sparkling, youthful score by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock (whose latter successes included “Fiddler On The Roof” and “She Loves Me”) stayed on the Billboard charts for 34 weeks when the original cast album was released. A big, rousing, somewhat risqué show with lots of dancing and the hit songs “Artificial Flowers,” “Little Old New York,” and “Good Clean Fun,” “Tenderloin” is a vintage show that still packs quite a punch.
