Let My People Come

About the show

Let My People Come is a musical with book and music by Earl Wilson, Jr. and lyrics by Wilson and Phil Oesterman. Subtitled "A Sexual Musical", the sexually-explicit show originally ran from 1974 to 1976 at The Village Gate Theater in Greenwich Village, New York City. It began previews on Broadway on July 7, 1976, and closed on October 2, 1976, after 108 preview performances, technically never 'officially' opening for regular Broadway performances. The score includes songs such as "I'm Gay", "Come in My Mouth", "Fellatio 101" and "The Cunnilingus Champion of Company C", and features on-stage nudity. The show was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1975 for Best Original Cast Album. The title of the 1976 softcore pornographic comedy film Let My Puppets Come, written and directed by Gerard Damiano, was a parody of Let My People Come.
