	Andrew Lippa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrew Lippa is an American composer, lyricist, book writer, performer, and producer, and the resident artist at the Ars Nova Theater in New York City.
		In 1998, Lippa was commissioned by the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver to create an anthem for a concert celebrating Israel's 50th birthday, to be sung by 350 singers and conducted by Sergiu Comissiona of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
		Lippa wrote the book, music and lyrics for The Wild Party, which was given its world premiere in 2000 at the Manhattan Theater Club in New York City.

	‘The Wild Party’ shakes up audience with exhilarating pace, tunes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Andrew Lippa, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics, revives the traditional breed of musical theater which faded away in the 1980s and 1990s, an act of loyalty that Hall admires.
		Lippa's musical is one of two different versions of "The Wild Party" that premiered in 2000.
		Along with the electric guitar, Lippa is criticized for the over-abundance of show-stopping numbers in the score, which lacks the subtlety of LaChuisa's version.

		Never mind that Lippa's very adult musical is being performed in a cramped Chicago storefront, or that a good percentage of the "BoHo" cast has yet to graduate from college.
		Lippa's score deserved more attention and admiration when his show debuted at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 2000, and this production's formidably gifted cast captures the youthful, hedonistic, self-destructive pulse of the Jazz Age -- its dangerous, crash-and-burn, live-for-the-moment fervor-- with riveting intensity.
		Lippa's sung-through score is tremendously expressive and varied, and enormously difficult, with 30 songs -- from big dance numbers, to scorchy torch tunes, to exquisite ballads -- that can truly stand on their own.

	TheStar.com - Lippa's war message resonates
		The 40-year-old Lippa was born in Leeds, England.
		Lippa played the piano and sang, but didn't venture into theatre until high school.
		Ironically, Lippa's rendition got better reviews, but its limited run had already closed and the resounding flop of the Broadway version killed any chances for a revival.

	Uptown Players \| Dallas, Texas
		Lippa has written a cautionary tale, a morality play for the 21st century.
		Lippa's adaptation, particularly the way Uptown Players handle it, is the more down and dirty of the two, more drenched in the divine decadence of Cabaret and Threepenny Opera.
		Lippa's 27-song score is dissonant and frequently harsh on the ear, wandering musically from jazz themes to Bernstein-tinged ballads to amorphous nonsense.

	[No title]
		Lippa's "Wild Party" was initially overshadowed when another musical version of March's poem by Michael John LaChiusa and George Wolfe opened on Broadway the same year, and the impact of both productions was blunted by comparisons.
		Lippa's score has a number of high spots, notably the aptly named "Let's Raise the Roof" and "The Juggernaut," both heightened by Bill Szobody's organically conceived choreography.
		Andrew Pandaleon contributes outstanding vocals, although he lacks a violent, vicious core suggested by Lippa's lyrics.

	Palo Alto Weekly: A tender tale (May 26, 2006)
		Lippa and Greenwald capture all of this in the microcosm of two seemingly ordinary relationships, and bring us to a place of maturity and healing.
		The music is almost continuous, flowing from song to song, and has all the delightful trademarks of Lippa's musical lexicon.
		Curley is just right for this role: his beautiful vocals soar in Lippa's challenging style, and his acting is spot on.

		Here is where Andrew Lippa comes into the story, providing book, music, and lyrics for this musical tale of love, lust and the tragic outcome of jealousy.
		Lippa has made the decision to make the party grow out of Queenie's burning hatred for Burrs, as compared to the poem's catalyst, a dark game that both Burrs and Queenie want to play.
		While her character is written by Lippa in one tone (that of a backstabbing, jealous woman), Lockhart wisely tries to show Kate's other sides with her body and face.

	Eye Weekly - On Stage - 02.02.06
		Acting Up Stage Theatre Company's second production is the Toronto premiere of Andrew Lippa's 1995 musical john and jen.
		Lippa and lyricist Tom Greenwald are so keen on making the situation universal, they forget to make John or Jen characters rather than collections of clichés.
		Lippa quotes the odd tune from the four decades covered, but those styles never imbue his own, which remains far too unvaried until near the end when Jen's big song, "The Road Ends Here," bursts out and finally it feels as if Lippa, too, has found his own voice.

	'Party' brims with energy, talent - The Boston Globe
		Neither Michael John LaChiusa's nor Andrew Lippa's version became a hit, but both have enjoyed afterlives on the regional and academic theater circuits.
		The story, told through songs and with almost no dialogue, is a simple tale of a relationship that has gone sour; a playful, jealous plan for revenge flies out of control.
		His score has period flavor and contemporary edge, motives and themes develop, and he can combine melodies in counterpoint: There is a duet, a trio, a quartet.

	Amazon.com: The Wild Party (Lippa) (2000 Off-Broadway Cast): Music: Andrew Lippa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		As you may be aware, there are two musical versions of WILD PARTY: this one, written by Andrew Lippa, which premiered off-Broadway, and another version written by Michael John LaChiusa which premiered on Broadway.
		If you scored three or more A's, you will be happier with the Lippa version of this show, as it is a typical book musical in the modernist vein, with an emphasis on musical numbers that function like set-pieces rather than plot points.
		Lippa's pastiche of hot jazz, funk, gospel, pop and rock, while not exactly period-appropriate, is endlessly fun to listen to.

	Playbill News: Lippa and Crawley's Little Princess Musical Aims for Developmental Run and Bway; Schulman Attached
		In recent months, Lippa has publicly performed "Live Out Loud," one of the songs from the musical story of Sara Crewe, "a little girl with a great big imagination," according to Lippa's website.
		Lippa said that this new stage version of the tale shifts the action to the early 19th-century rather than the 1880s.
		The 1905 story by the British-born American writer Burnett is now in the public domain (the rights are now public), and therefore has been adapted a number of times for the musical stage, but never to a high-profile Broadway run.
