Thomas Meehan
Book

Thomas Meehan received the Tony Award in 2001 for co-writing the book for The Producers and again in 2003 for co-writing the book for Hairspray. He received his first Tony Award in 1977 for writing the book for Annie, which was his first Broadway show, and he has also written the books for the musicals Rocky, Elf The Musical, Cry-Baby, Young Frankenstein, Chaplin, Bombay Dreams, I Remember Mama, Ain’t Broadway Grand, and Annie Warbucks. In addition, he was a long-time contributor of humor to The New Yorker, an Emmy-Award winning writer of television comedy, and a collaborator on a number of screenplays, including Mel Brooks' Spaceballs and To Be or Not to Be. Meehan was also a member of the Council of the Dramatists Guild. Prior to his death in 2017, he and his wife, Carolyn, divided their time between a home in Nantucket and an apartment in Greenwich Village, near which, on Hudson Street, she owned and presided over the long-running and near-legendary children's store Peanut Butter & Jane.
