Pipe Dream is the seventh musical by the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II; it premiered on Broadway on November 30, 1955. The work is based on John Steinbeck's short novel Sweet Thursday, a sorta sequel to his other book Cannery Row. Pipe Dream ran for 245 performances and was considered a huge financial disaster for Rodgers and Hammerstein.
