In 1966, a Broadway musical entitled "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman" began its run. Songs by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams include "Superman", "You've Got Possibilities", and "Revenge". The musical ran for 128 performances. This play was later revived as an ABC TV musical starring David Wilson in 1975. The soundtrack to this play was re-released in 1992 on CD.



IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, IT'S SUPERMAN


Superman must save himself and Metropolis from the Mad Scientist while coping with a super bout of depression. Aiding the villain is Daily Planet columnist Max Mencken, much to the horror of fellow writers Lois Lane and Sydney Carlton.
