CURTAIN UP: This week we spotlight A Man of No Importance. The show has music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and a book by Terrence McNally. It is based on the 1994 Albert Finney film, A Man of No Importance. It tells the story of an amateur theatre group in Dublin and their leader, who is determined to stage a version of Salome at his church, despite the objections of church authorities.
The musical ran from Sept. 12 to Dec. 29 of 2002 in the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City. It won the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical.
