About Face was developed in the Tony-honored BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop and won the Jerry Harrington Award (David Arthur), the Spirit of Broadway Award (Jeffrey Lodin) and The Global Search For New Musicals (Cardiff, Wales).

30 Days of NYMF: A Show Dances Off The Page
Posted by on 6:54 pm Sep 26th, 2007
From BroadwayWorld.com A SHOW DANCES OFF THE PAGE by Jeff Hochhauser (book and co-lyricist of Mud Donahue & Son) The show was born in a junk store in Greenport, NY. This junk store had a huge collection of very moldy books selling for a buck a piece. While I was happily gathering copies of almost every play Maurice Maeterlink ever wrote, my long time 'euphemism' Howard Hamm interrupted me with a thin, watermarked blue volume. He had an ingenuous look on his face that I've seen a whole bunch of times. He knew I was going to jump out of my skin! He was right. "Letters of a Hoofer to His Ma" by Jack Donahue.
