COLE PORTER (Music & Lyrics) was born in Peru, Indiana in 1891. He attended Yale. In the late 1920s he gained renown for many great songs, among them “Night and Day”, “You’re the Top”, “Begin the Beguine” and “I Get a Kick Out of You”. His 1930s were highlighted by such Broadway offerings as Anything Goes, Gay Divorce, and Jubilee. A crippling accident in 1937 left him in constant pain yet he continued to write memorable scores, among them Kiss Me Kate, Can Can and Silk Stockings. He died in 1964. GUY BOLTON (1884-1979) and P.G. WODEHOUSE (1881-1975) were both born in England. Together, with Jerome Kern, they wrote the famed Princess Theatre musicals. Usually, they collaborated on the book, and Wodehouse wrote the lyrics. Bolton, with one collaborator or another, or on his own, had a hand in well over 100 musicals and straight plays as well as numerous film scripts and novels. Wodehouse wrote 97 books―most notably the “Jeeves” novels―and countless short stories, articles, essays and films. In addition to Anything Goes, their work together includes Oh, Boy!; Leave It To Jane; Oh, Lady! Lady!!; Sitting Pretty; Oh, Kay! and Rosalie. HOWARD LINDSAY & RUSSEL CROUSE (Co-Authors of the Original Book). The Lindsay and Crouse partnership stands as the longest of any writers in theatrical history. It began in 1934, when they rewrote the libretto for Anything Goes. Their Life With Father (1939) holds the record for the longest-running play on Broadway. They also wrote The Sound of Music (with Rodgers and Hammerstein), State of the Union (Pulitzer Prize), Call Me Madam (with Irving Berlin), and The Great Sebastians,
and produced Arsenic and Old Lace. Prior to their teaming up, Howard Lindsay (18891968) was an actor, stage manager, director, and playwright. Russel Crouse (1893-1966) was a newspaperman, press agent, author, and librettist. TIMOTHY CROUSE (Co-author of the New Book) has been a contributing editor of Rolling Stone and the Village Voice, as well as the Washington columnist for Esquire, and is an O. Henry Prize-winning short story writer. He is the author of The Boys on the Bus, a classic account of the role of the press in presidential campaigns and the son of Russel Crouse, one of the original authors of Anything Goes. JOHN WEIDMAN (New Book), has written the books for a wide variety of musicals, among them Pacific Overtures, Assassins and Road Show, all with scores by Stephen Sondheim, and Contact, co-created with director/choreographer Susan Stroman. Since his children were pre-schoolers, Weidman has written for Sesame Street, receiving more than a dozen Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing for a Children’s Program.
