Meet the Playwright
Rupert Holmes
Rupert HolmEs ( Playwright) Called “an American treasure” by the Los Angeles Times … mystery novelist-playwright-composer-arrangerscreenwriter-conductor-singersongwriter, Rupert Holmes is the first person in theatrical history to solely win Tony® awards as an author, a composer and a lyricist. Born in Cheshire, England, the son of an American army band leader who met Holmes’ British mother while stationed overseas, he grew up near Nyack, New York and attended first The Crouse College of Music at Syracuse University as a clarinetist, then Manhattan School of Music. He found his passion for music was equally matched by a love of story-telling, which initially found outlet within the framework of unique story songs, leading him to a career as a pop singer-songwriter of the seventies. Over the decades, Holmes has performed in every kind of venue, live or televised, from The Bottom Line to Carnegie Hall, London’s “Top of the Pops” to NYC’s 54 Below, The Today
Show, The Tonight Show, Caesar’s Palace, Trump Plaza, The Roxy, Dangerfield’s with Rodney. In 1985, Holmes’ musical comedy based on Charles Dickens’ uncompleted last novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood was produced by Joseph Papp and the New York Shakespeare Festival, initially at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park and then making its Broadway premiere at the Imperial Theater. Holmes solely wrote the book, lyrics, music and even orchestrations, a quadruple hat trick virtually unheard of in theatrical history. In the spring of that year, Holmes singly won the Tony awards for Best Book, Best Score (music and lyrics), with Edwin Drood winning Best Musical. The Tonys had no category that year for Best Orchestration, but Holmes and “Edwin Drood” won all the same awards from the New York Drama Desk plus their additional category for Best Orchestration. The Mystery of Edwin Drood went on to have a West End production at London’s Savoy Theatre and can be seen somewhere in the world most every day of the year.
