Therefore, the answer is this: "Your guess is as good as mine".
However, we do know what was quite likely the first musical in New York
"According to the best contemporary scholarship, the first full length musical play performed in America was Flora (or The Hob on the Wall), a Ballad Opera presented in Charleston as early as 1735. New York's first-known professional musical production was a five performance run of John Gay's satirical British ballad opera The Beggar's Opera, offered by Walter Murray and Thomas Kean's traveling theatrical troupe at the Nassau Street Theatre on Dec.3, 1750."

Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley.AnswerIt was written in the mid-1960s. Words and Music by Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley. Woodley was a member of the Australian pop group the Seekers. At that time Simon was performing as half of the folk duo Simon and Garfunkel. Garfunkel's contribution was singing. He has written several poems that others have set to music within the past decade or so. Paul Simon continued to compose hit songs and had a successful solo career after the duo broke up. AnswerRED RUBBER BALL WAS ONE OF THE ONLY WRITTEN SONGS THAT SIMON AND GARFUNKLE DID NOT KEEP AS THEIR OWN, SELLING IT TO A GROUP CALLED "THE CYRKLE" (NAME GIVEN/OR CREATED TO/FOR THEM BY JOHN LENNON) AND SELLING AS A SINGLE AT NEAR A MILLION COPIES. THERE ARE A FEW RECORDINGS OF PAUL AND ART DOING THE SONG AT CONCERTS, THOUGH IT IS RARE TO HEAR IT SUNG BY ANOTHER BAND OTHER THAN THE CYRKLE. IT WAS INDEED A ONE HIT WONDER, GOING TO NUMBER TWO ON THE CHARTS, I BELIEVE 1966. Actually, Cyrkle had another entry into the top 40, with "Turn Down Day" which peaked at number 16 a few months later. So, technically, not a one hit wonder. AnswerIf you look at the Album Come the Day, recorded by the seekers you see the song credited to Simon (Paul Simon) and Woodley (Bruce Woodley of the Seekers). I attended a live concert of the Seekers were it was acknowledged that Bruce Woodley co-composed the song.
