''Contact'' is a musical "dance play" that was developed by Susan Stroman and John Weidman, with its "book" by Weidman and both choreography and direction by Stroman. It ran both off-Broadway and on Broadway in 1999–2002. It consists of three separate one-act dance plays. ==Productions== ''Contact'' premiered at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, Lincoln Center, on September 9, 1999 (after 1999 workshop productions of parts of the show),〔McGrath, Sean ("Stroman & Weidman to Contact Lincoln Center; Previews Sept. 9, Opens Oct. 7" ) Playbill, May 25, 1999〕 then moved to Broadway at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, Lincoln Center, on March 30, 2000 and played for 1,010 performances there.〔("'Contact' on Broadway, Production and Awards" ) playbillvault.com, accessed October 17, 2015〕 The show was received with critical acclaim〔See, for example: (Curtain Up review )〕 and won the 2000 Tony Award for Best Musical (among others).〔 The award was controversial because ''Contact'' contains no original music or live singing, and in response, a new award for Best Special Theatrical Event was introduced the following year.〔Hofler, Robert.
