RICK ELICE
Book

co-wrote Jersey Boys (winner 2006 Tony Award, 2007 Grammy Award and 2009 Olivier Award for Best Musical) with the great Marshall Brickman. His play, Peter and the Starcatcher, won five 2012 Tony Awards and is one of the most produced plays in North America. Also on Broadway, The Addams Family and The Cher Show. Coming soon: The Princess Bride for Disney; Water for Elephants, with the acclaimed theater collective, Pig Pen; Monopoly for Hasbro; Mad Season, with Rob Thomas and Schele Williams; Treasure, with 2021 Ed Kleban Award winner, Benjamin Scheuer. Rick’s book, Finding Roger, An Improbably Theatrical Love Story, is published by Kingswell. Heartfelt thanks to those whose theatre work makes him grateful for the day he was born: Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince, Fosse, Robbins, Nichols, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Taymor, Papp, Schumacher, Schneider, David, Strong, Gaudio, Valli, McAnuff, Trujillo, Timbers, Coyne, Brickman, and, eternally, Roger Rees. Rick thinks about them a lot. He never thought about Jersey much. He does now.
