Enter Laughing: The Musical, with book by Joseph Stein and music and lyrics by the late Stan Daniels, is based on Stein's play, from the semi-autobiographical novel by Carl Reiner.  The musical, originally titled So Long, 174th Street, is about the journey of young aspiring actor David Kolowitz as he tries to free himself from overly protective parents and girlfriends, while struggling to meet the challenge of a lack of talent in 1930s New York City.
