The musical, which has a book by David Newman and Robert Benton — who would go on to write the screenplays for "Bonnie and Clyde" and several "Superman" films, including the first — tells the story of Superman’s efforts to defeat the vengeful Dr. Abner Sedgwick, a ten-time Nobel Prize-losing scientist, who seeks to destroy the world's symbol of good. Superman also comes into romantic conflict with Max Mencken, a columnist for the Daily Planet newspaper who is intent on revealing Superman's true identity, as he resents Lois Lane's attraction to Superman. The musical will be directed by Randy Smartnick, with musical direction by Aaron Clingham, choreography by Kate McPhee and casting by Benjamin Newsome.
The producer is Andrew Yon for All Star Productions Ltd.
