music by Marvin Hamlisch and Ester Dean. The production re- unites director and choreog- rapher Jerry Mitchell with his collaborators for “Kinky Boots” including Tony Award winners David Rockwell (Scenic Design), Gregg Barnes (Costume Design) and Kenneth Posner (Lighting Design). The crew also includes Nick Kenkel (Co-Choreography), Randy Hansen (Sound Design), Jason Lee Courson (Projection Design), Drama Desk nominee Josh Marquette (Hair and Wig Design), Tony Award winner Larry Hochman (Orchestrations) and Telsey + Company (Casting). The play had its World Premiere in Chicago prior to coming to New Jersey. With any luck, Half Time will likely become the next play to go from Paper Mill to Broadway, joining a list that in- cludes shows like Newsies!, Hon- eymoon In Vegas, A Bronx Tale, and Bandstand. The success of productions like these earned Paper Mill Playhouse the 2016 Regional Theatre Tony Award.
