About This Song
“Love Look Away” was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II for the 1958 musical Flower Drum Song. The musical has not been widely performed in recent years due to concerns regarding Asian-American stereotypes. However, the 2002 revival of Flower Drum Song featured an updated libretto by playwright David Henry Hwang to mitigate these concerns.
