ROBERT LOPEZ: Somehow, Robert Lopez's first two Broadway musicals, Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon, became critical and commercial smash hits and Best Musical Tony Award winners. With his collaborators Matt Stone and Trey Parker he shared Best Original Score and Best Book Tonys for The Book of Mormon, as well as the Drama League, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, NY Drama Critics Circle, and the Dramatists Guild Frederick Loewe Award in 2011. The cast album for Mormon was the first in over 40 years to crack Billboard's top 10 pop chart, and won a Grammy award. He also shared a Tony for Best Original Score and a Grammy nomination for Avenue Q, which he co-wrote and conceived with Jeff Marx, and which has been produced worldwide. With Kristen Anderson-Lopez, he co-wrote Finding Nemo: The Musical (playing at Walt Disney World since 2006), songs for Winnie the Pooh (Walt Disney Animation Studios, 2011), and the original musical Up Here (currently in development). In television, he has written material for "South Park,""The Simpsons,"and "Phineas and Ferb."He shared two daytime Emmy Awards for music for Nickelodeon's "The Wonder Pets"and a Primetime Emmy nomination for the musical episode of "Scrubs". He is a member of the Dramatists Guild, and a member and occasional moderator of the BMI Musical Theater Workshop Advanced Class. Robert's first professional work in the theater was writing musicals for young audiences for Theatreworks/USA, and his early, unproduced score for Kermit, Prince Of Denmark won him the Kleban Award. A native New Yorker and Yale grad, he lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two young daughters

| It's set on a fictional New York City street, where a bunch of singing puppets and humans are struggling to find their way in the world. The press release tells us: "The cast of characters who live on Avenue Q--Rod, Brian, Kate Monster, Christmas Eve, et al--are members of the younger generation that flocks to New York year after year: out of college, out of work, and out of money, but flush with enough hopes, aspirations, and sexual and identity crises to fill a musical comedy with story and song. Adding to the wit and irreverence of Avenue Q is the musical's sly spin on contemporary children's programming, with a cast comprised of both puppets and real actors." | |||||
