''Waiting for the Moon: An American Love Story'', formerly ''Zelda'' or ''Scott & Zelda: The Other Side Of Paradise'', is a musical with music by Frank Wildhorn and lyrics by Jack Murphy. It is the second finished production the two have presented, having previously collaborated on ''The Civil War''. The show had its world premiere at the Lenape Regional Performing Arts Center in Marlton, New Jersey in July 2005. The musical is based on the lives of famed American author F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda Fitzgerald. ==Production history== The Lenape Regional Performing Arts Center hosted the world premiere of the musical, in a production that ran from July 20, 2005 through July 31, 2005. Directed by Vincent Marini with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler the cast starred Jarrod Emick and Lauren Kennedy.〔Rendell, Bob.(Review ) talkinbroadway.com, July 31, 2005〕 Wildhorn had connections with the theatre through Linda Eder's concerts, amongst other engagements including the early renditions of the ''Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection'' tour. Wildhorn had said he had hoped that Lenape would become "a real successful regional theatre, that he could use as a laboratory for his new productions."〔("Interview with Wildhorn and Murphy," ) broadwayworld.com, July 28, 2005〕 Murphy titled the show ''Waiting For The Moon'', as director Vincent Marini didn't believe that ''Scott & Zelda'' sounded right for it. After a dinner outing, Murphy's wife suggested the title and both Murphy and Marini liked it enough that it stuck. The rest of the creative team for this production included Ron Melrose as music director, Kim Scharnberg as orchestrator, Rob Odorisio as scenic designer, Howell Binkley as lighting designer, Janine McCabe as costume designer, Nick Kourtides as sound designer, and Michael Clark credited with the projections design.〔Robb, J. Cooper.("Review" ) theatermania.com, July 25, 2005〕 The show was produced by Roy Miller and Vincent Marini, with Angelo del Rossi as consulting producer.〔() Official Wildhorn site listing〕 A planned production at North Carolina Theatre (Raleigh, North Carolina) in July 2007 was cancelled.〔Jones, Kenneth.( Wildhorn's Moon Won't Rise Over NC; Creators in Talks for Future," ) March 8, 2007〕 It was to star once again Lauren Kennedy, with the potential of husband Alan Campbell in the role of Scott. In the fall of 2012, the musical received its second treatment, again with Kennedy and Emmick in their respective roles. The musical was renamed Zelda, and played at the Flat Rock Playhouse where Marini had become artistic director. In October 2015, a new production opened in Tokyo, Japan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waiting for the Moon (musical)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
