Jimmy Shine is a play with music. It was written by Murray Schisgal with music and lyrics by John Sebastian. The plot centers on its title character who is a struggling artist in Greenwich Village during the 1960s. Much of the story follows Jimmy's relationships with various women in his life and how he copes with love, sex, death, and rejection in relation to both himself and his art.[1]
A production of the show was staged in 1969 in Chicago, with Jim Jacobs in the title role. Jacobs (later of Grease fame) was nominated for a Jeff Award for his work.
