Book: Nicolas van Hoogstraten
Lyrics: Joel Higgins
Music: Martin Silvestri & Joel Higgins
Director: John Hurly
Cast:
Honored as off-Broadway's Best Musical in 2004, Johnny Guitar is a tuneful, laugh-filled musical comedy that embraces and sends up Fifties-style movie action, melodramatic romance, and rough-and-tumble cowboy action. Featuring a sensational score with echoes of doo-wop songs and steamy southwestern ballads, the musical is based on the cult film favorite starring Joan Crawford.
The wildest western in film history has just been tamed!
The New York Times
The appealing, twanging tunes by Higgins and Silvestri are skillfully crafted rashers of country-flavored period pop.
