New Musical by South Park Creators Trey Parker & Matt Stone on Tap at NYTW

A musical collaboration between South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q's Tony Award-winning composer Robert Lopez is headed for New York Theater Workshop this summer. The threesome are working on a new show that will have an off-Broadway run in August and September. No details about the subject matter or stars of the musical have been revealed.

Parker and Hairspray composer Marc Shaiman were nominated for a 2000 Academy Award for Best Original Song for “Blame Canada,” a Les Miz-inspired anthem written for the feature film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

NYTW also has a revival of Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes on tap in September and October starring Elizabeth Marvel (Top Girls, Fifty Words) and directed by Ivo van Hove. The two have previously collaborated on radical reworkings of Hedda Gabler and A Streetcar Named Desire at the off-Broadway company. The busy Marvel has already been announced to star in the Public Theater’s production of The Book of Grace (beginning March 2) and Manhattan Theatre Club’s production of That Face (beginning April 29).

As previously announced, NYTW is beginning 2010 with John Rubinstein's production of Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, written by Geoffrey Cowan and Leroy Aarons (February 24-28), followed by Restoration, written and starring Claudia Shear and directed by Christopher Ashley (April 30-June 13).
