WINNER! BROADWAY.COM AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD - FAVORITE MUSICAL REVIVAL

Thomas Meehan won the 2001 Tony Award® for co-writing the book of The Producers with Mel Brooks, and then went on to win the 2003 Tony Award for co-writing the book of Hairspray with Mark O'Donnell.  He received his first Tony Award in 1977 for writing the book of Annie, which was his first Broadway show, and he has since written books for, among others, the musicals I Remember Mama; Ain't Broadway Grand; Annie Warbucks and the American version of Bombay Dreams.  His most recent works are the Broadway musicals Young Frankenstein, for which he co-wrote the book with Mel Brooks; Cry-Baby, co-written with Mark O'Donnell; and Elf, co-written with Bob Martin. Meanwhile, the summer of 2010 saw the limited-run premiere of Death Takes a Holiday, for which he co-wrote the book with the late Peter Stone to music and lyrics by Maury Yeston. Future projects include Rocky, for which he has written the book to lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty. Other works in earlier stages of development include musicals based on the life of Charlie Chaplin, the movie Tootsie, and the movie Dave.  In addition, he is a long-time contributor of humor pieces, including "Yma Dream," to The New Yorker; an Emmy Award-winning writer of television comedy; and a collaborator on a number of screenplays, including Mel Brooks' Spaceballs, To Be or Not to Be and the film version of The Producers.  He is also the co-author, with the poet J.D. McClatchy, of the libretto of 1984, an opera composed by Lorin Maazel, based on George Orwell's classic novel, which had its world premiere in the spring of 2005 at London's Royal Opera House and was performed in 2008 at La Scala, in Milan, and last year at the opera house in Valencia.  Mr. Meehan is a member of the Council of the Dramatists Guild and a winner of the Oscar Hammerstein Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre as well as a pair of London's Olivier Awards.

Charles Strouse's music has been an integral part of American culture for over 40 years.  His first Broadway musical was the smash hit Bye Bye Birdie (written with long time collaborator Lee Adams).  It won him a Tony Award® for Best Score and paved the way for his next show All American (book by Mel Brooks).  In 1964, Golden Boy (starring Sammy Davis, Jr.) earned four Tony Award nominations, and in 1966, Strouse went on to write the Broadway favorite It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's Superman! (based on the popular comic strip). In 1970, Applause (starring Lauren Bacall) won him his second Tony Award®.  In 1977, he adapted another comic strip for the stage - Annie - which went on to become a worldwide phenomenon, and garnered Strouse yet another Tony (in addition to two Grammys).  Some of his other musicals include Dance A Little Closer (lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner), Charlie & Algernon (Tony nomination), Rags (Tony nomination) and Nick & Nora (Tony nomination).  Film scores include Bonnie & Clyde, There Was a Crooked Man, The Night They Raided Minsky's and the animated All Dogs Go To Heaven.  He also wrote the theme song "Those Were the Days" for the groundbreaking television show "All in the Family."  Strouse's writing also extends into orchestral works, chamber music, piano concertos and opera.  His "Concerto America" premiered at The Boston Pops in 2004, and his opera Nightingale (starring Sarah Brightman) had a long and successful run in London's West End.  A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Strouse studied under Aaron Copland and Nadia Boulanger. In 1977, he founded the ASCAP Musical Theatre Workshop in New York.  He is the recipient of the Richard Rodgers as well as the Oscar Hammerstein Award. He is also a member of the Theater Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.  His book, Put On A Happy Face: A Broadway Memoir was released in June 2008.

In 1970, Charnin secured the rights to the celebrated long-running Chicago Tribune comic strip "Little Orphan Annie", created by Harold Gray.  He ultimately entered into a collaboration with Charles Strouse and Tom Meehan to turn the strip into an original Broadway musical.  He maintained the rights until 1976 when Michael Price and the Goodspeed Opera House produced Annie, which was subsequently picked up by Lewis Allen and Mike Nichols and brought to Broadway in April, 1977.  It played for 2,377 performances and won seven Tony Awards®  with Charnin as lyricist and director.  Charnin has directed 19 other productions of Annie including all of its first class national companies, three West End productions, and productions in Holland and Australia.  His last production was in 2005, celebrating Annie's 30th anniversary.  He began his professional career in 1957, creating the role of Big Deal in the original Broadway company of West Side Story, and he sang "Gee, Officer Krupke" for 1,000 performances.  Since then, he has been the director, lyricist, composer, librettist or a combination of the aforementioned for over 125 theatrical ventures.  He has collaborated with Peter Allen, Harold Arlen, Vernon Duke, Marvin Hamlisch, Peter Stone, Mary Rodgers, and Alan Jay Lerner, as well as two musicals with Richard Rodgers, Two by Two and I Remember Mama.  His other Broadway productions include Hot Spot, The First, Lena Horne; The Lady and Her Music, Café Crown, A Little Family Business, The Flowering Peach, Nash at Nine and the off-Broadway productions of Upstairs at O'Neals, The No Frills Revue, Carnal Knowledge, Put It In Writing, Music, Music and in London, Bar Mitzvah Boy, Bless the Bride and The 9 ½ Quid Revue.  He conceived and directed The National Lampoon Show which ultimately became "Saturday Night Live".  He has written for, or directed Fred Astaire, Jack Lemmon, Anne Bancroft, Joel Grey, Ann-Margaret, Danny Kaye, Johnny Mathis, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Meatloaf, Bebe Neuwirth, Bernadette Peters, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gilda Radner, Chita Rivera, Liv Ullman, Lou Reed, Susan Sarandon, Joan Rivers, Jon Stuart, Shirley MacLaine, Marlo Thomas, Barbra Streisand, Carol Burnett, and Catherine Zeta Jones (who made her stage debut as "Molly"  in his first London production of Annie in 1978).  He has conceived, written, and directed eight musical-variety television programs:  Anne Bancroft in "Annie, the Woman in the Life of a Man," "Annie and the Hoods," (again with Anne Bancroft), "George M," "'S'Wonderful, "S'Marvelous, "S'Gershwin," "Cole Porter in Paris," "Get Happy," "Dames at Sea" and "The Annie Christmas Show".  He has been nominated for, or received six Tonys, six Grammys, three Emmys, three Gold Records, two Platinum records, six Drama Desk Awards, The Peabody Award for Broadcasting, and Jay-Z's album "Hard Knock Life," which went triple platinum.  Now in the works are:  Softly (a musical with a score by the late Harold Arlen), Robin Hood (with Thomas Meehan and Peter Sipos).  This fall, he will direct the new Pre-Broadway production of Two by Two starring Jason Alexander, and write the lyrics for and direct Skin Deep, a new Broadway bound musical, about what happens to Cinderella's wicked mother and unattractive step-sisters after Prince Charming fits the Glass Slipper on Cinderella.  His other projects include the Time-Life double disc Annie 30th Anniversary production album, which also contains songs from Annie 2, "Rodgers & ..." a concert celebration of the music of Richard Rodgers and his six lyricists.  Mr. Charnin functioned as narrator of the piece, which presented some 70 Rodgers songs and opened the 2009 season at "Lyrics & Lyricists" at the 92nd Street Y.  In the Pacific Northwest, he has directed Shadowlands, Love is Love, Sleuth and is structuring a one-woman show for his wife and former Annie "Star-to-be" Shelly Burch.
