Jewish widow Mrs. Jacoby, travelling to Japan with her daughter and son-in-law, meets Koichi Asano, a Japanese widower who wishes to court her. Her wartime grief and her daughter’s objections to an interracial marriage complicate their relationship.
Look to the Lilies is a stage musical with a book by Leonard Spigelgass, lyrics by Sammy Cahn, and music by Jule Styne. Based on both the 1962 novel and film versions of Lilies of the Field, it tells the story of a group of German nuns, headed by a determined, dauntless Mother Superior, who manage to get an African American itinerant handyman/jack-of-all-trades named Homer Smith to build a chapel for the New Mexico community in which they live, despite not having money to pay him.
