 | | Wright and Forrest's adaptation of Vicki Baum's novel Grand Hotel, called At the Grand (book by Luther Davis), closed out of town in 1957, but a revised version, Grand Hotel (1989, book again by Davis), directed on Broadway by Tommy Tune, was a great success, winning five Tony Awards. |
 | | Wright and Forrest's "Let's Take a Glass Together" is a show-stopper and was a highlight of the year's Tony Awards show. |
 | | Wright and Forrest's professional career included work in film, television, radio, the cabaret circuit, and most notably the stage, rightfully acknowledged when they were given the 1995 ASCAP/Richard Rodgers Award for their contributions to American musical theater. |
