Prospect produced the NYC premiere of I Married Wyatt Earp in 2011.
Young Josie Marcus is nothing like the girls back home. Passionate and fearless, she leaves behind her upper-class Jewish family for the adventure of Tombstone, Arizona—home of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. Eleven gutsy women give voice to the untold story of the American frontier in this compelling new musical.

This 2011 revival of Prospect’s 2006 musical Iron Curtain follows the misadventures of two struggling songwriters, Howard Katz and Murray Finkel. The duo finally gets their big break when they are kidnapped by the KGB, taken to Russia, and forced to fix the world’s worst communist propaganda musical. With the help of their madcap Soviet collaborators, the team gets a taste of the fame they never had in America.
“An enthusiastic farce… high-spirited and snark-free… old-fashioned in all the best ways.” - New York Times
“Theatergoers of the world, unite in giggling. You have nothing to lose but your depression... [It’s] irresistible.” - Village Voice
