AUTHORS
HENRY KRIEGER
Henry Krieger began composing for Off-Off-Broadway in his twenties. Soon, collaborations with Tom Eyen and Broadway director/producer/choreographer Michael Bennett led to a workshop production of what was originally entitled 鈥淏ig Dreams.鈥 After several workshops, numerous rewrites, and an out-of-town tryout in Boston, 鈥淒reamgirls鈥 came to Broadway in 1981 and was nominated for thirteen Tony Awards (including Best Score), winning six. One song, 鈥淎nd I Am Telling You I鈥檓 Not Going,鈥 became a top hit, and others became popular as well. Twenty-five years later, the film version of 鈥淒reamgirls,鈥 directed by Bill Condon and starring Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx and Beyonc茅, was released and the soundtrack became a number-one album. Mr. Krieger also composed the scores to 鈥淭he Tap Dance Kid鈥 (1983-85) with Robert Lorick, and the acclaimed Side Show (1997-98), written with Bill Russell and directed and choreographed by Robert Longbottom. Oscar nominations: 鈥淟isten,鈥 鈥淟ove You, I Do鈥 and 鈥淧atience鈥 for Best Original Song. Grammy awards: Cast Album of 鈥淒reamgirls鈥 and 鈥淟ove You, I Do鈥 for Best Song in a Motion Picture. Tony nominations: 鈥淪ide Show鈥 and 鈥淒reamgirls鈥 for Best Score. Henry lives in Manhattan鈥檚 West Village.
BILL RUSSELL
Bill Russell received Tony Award nominations for the book and lyrics of the original Broadway production of 鈥淪ide Show鈥 (1997). The critically praised revised version played at the La Jolla Playhouse and the Kennedy Center and received an acclaimed Broadway revival in 2014 and a London premiere at the Southwark Playhouse in 2016. Mr. Russell co-wrote the book and lyrics for Off-Broadway鈥檚 long-running musical 鈥淧ageant鈥 and directed it in the Fringe and West End in London and at theaters around America. He authored the book and lyrics for 鈥淓legies for Angels,鈥 鈥淧unks and Raging Queens鈥 (music by Janet Hood), directing it in London鈥檚 Fringe and West End, among many others. At the end of 2020, he codirected a streamed version featuring 51 stars of theater, TV and film, including Nathan Lane, Cynthia Nixon, Cherry Jones, Fran Drescher, JK Simmons, Seth Rudetsky, Varla Jean Merman and Norm Lewis, as a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Other musicals for which he authored book and lyrics include 鈥淯p in the Air鈥 (Kennedy Center) and the off-Broadway musicals 鈥淭he Last Smoker in America,鈥 鈥淟ucky Duck,鈥 鈥淔ourtune鈥 and 鈥淭he Texas Chainsaw Musical.鈥 鈥淏rave New World鈥 (lyrics) premiered in Asheville, NC in 2016. Unexpected Joy premiered in New York and London in 2018. He has honorary doctorates from the Boston Conservatory and Morningside College and was inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame in 2016.
