		Harnick got his first job with the marionettes through his friend Burt Shevelove, who was directing the 1958 ABC television special Art Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf (with music by Sergei Prokofiev and lyrics by Ogden Nash).
		Harnick's involvement in the recent revival of Fiddler on the Roof is a testament to his boundless energy and continued creativity in the world of musical theater.
		This show, for which Harnick wrote not only lyrics, but also the book and the music, is his "novel in a drawer." And in typical Harnick fashion, he has lavished time, effort and love on the work.

		Sheldon Harnick has already donated many of his professional papers and musical compositions, with the rest to join the Library's holdings as a bequest.
		In the end, however, it was learning that Sheldon would also deliver his savings that made it all worthwhile since I do believe that the musical, unlike the poem or the painting or the novel, is the art of collaboration.

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - New Jersey "Dragons" - 11/19/03
		Harnick’s message is startlingly relevant to today’s world situation.
		However, although the message may be rather explicit at the end, it is largely delivered so entertainingly that it goes down as smoothly and deliciously as vanilla ice cream.
		This is the first time that I have encountered composer Harnick’s music since he provided delightful music (and lyrics) for satiric songs, such as “The Merry Minuet” (“There’s rioting in Africa...”) a half century ago.

		Each of its three acts is a mini-musical based on a story by a different writer.
		Bock and Harnick thump away at exhausted jokes and dramatic conceits as if they were awfully clever.
		In "Adam and Eve," the combination of cutesiness and sappiness is presented, at least, with some modesty, but both the Stockton and the Feiffer adaptations charge ahead relentlessly.

		Born in Chicago in 1924, Harnick played violin from an early age and learned about theater from his acting uncle.
		The Apple Tree and The Rothchilds were worthy follow-ups (though commercial disappointments), and Harnick recorded an album in 1971 including his own performances of his best lyrics.
		A bit of friction between Harnick and Bock during The Rothchilds proved the death knell of their partnership; Harnick later worked with Richard Rodgers on Rex, and continued to be involved in the theater world.
