Broadway Theatre Project Welcomes Returning Guest Artist and "Wonderland" Co-Creator Frank Wildhorn to Teach From July 14-15

Frank Wildhorn’s works span the worlds of popular, theatrical and classical music. In 1999, Frank became the first American composer in 22 years to have three shows running simultaneously on Broadway: Jekyll & Hyde (written with Leslie Bricusse), which received two Tony nominations; The Scarlet Pimpernel (written with Nan Knighton), which received four Tony nominations; and The Civil War (written with Jack Murphy & Gregory Boyd), which received two Tony nominations. Frank also wrote additional songs for Broadway’s Victor/Victoria (written with Leslie Bricusse) and was recently represented on Broadway by Dracula: The Musical (written with Don Black & Christopher Hampton).

Frank is currently working on Wonderland (written with Jack Murphy) - a new adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which will premiere in Tampa, Florida in December 2009, followed by a run in Houston, Texas. Wonderland had its world premiere workshop during the 2007 session of Broadway Theatre Project. Numbers were choreographed and directed by Artistic Director Debra McWaters and presented in the Broadway Theatre Project performance. Producer Judith Lisi from the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center acquired the show after seeing the BTP workshop production of Wonderland.
