On this episode of
STAGE GROK, I talk with lyricist-bookwriter Danny Ginges and
composer-lyricist Philip Foxman, about their rock musical
Atomic, which debuted
in Australia, then moved to off Broadway, and then was produced by two regional
theatres in 2016,
Meadow Brook Theatre in Rochester, Michigan, and then
New Line Theatre in St. Louis. Danny and Philip talk about the creation and development
of
Atomic, on the phone from Sydney, Australia, where they live.
