LaChiusa, Michael John (b. 1962), composer, lyricist, and librettist. Born in Chautauqua, New York, LaChiusa briefly attended junior college in Boston before going to New York where he started writing musicals, first getting noticed for his First Ladies Suite (1993). His musical adaptation of Schnitzler's La Ronde called Hello Again (1993) was a success Off Broadway, but his Broadway efforts Marie Christine (1999) and The Wild Party (2000) were more admired than popular. LaChiusa's other works include The Petrified Prince (1994) and Little Fish (2003). The multitalented composer‐writer tackles difficult and demanding projects and is highly regarded in the theatre community.
