Itamar Moses never meant to write musicals. He began his career in the early 2000s as a playwright, with premieres in New York City and regionally at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the Old Globe, South Coast Repertory, and Portland Center Stage. But he’s now also one of the top book writers for the musical theatre, with a Tony for the 2017 The Band’s Visit.
Moses’s newest musical, an adaptation of the beloved 1986 animated film An American Tail, for which he’s writing book and co-writing lyrics, begins performances next week at Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis and runs through June 18th.
