Wright and Forrest

Wright and Forrest, composers and lyricists. Robert [Craig] Wright (b. 1914) was born in Daytona Beach, Florida, and attended the University of Miami before working in various musical capacities. His career‐long collaborator, George Forrest [Chichester Jr.] (1915–99) was born in Brooklyn and teamed up with Wright, scoring films in Hollywood and for West Coast theatrical productions. They came east to contribute material to the Ziegfeld Follies of 1943 and soon had two Broadway hits: Song of Norway (1944) and Kismet (1953), for which they wrote lyrics to their rearrangement of the music of Grieg and Borodin, respectively. Both musicals were first mounted in California. Several of their other musicals, for which they sometimes provided original music, were successful on the West Coast but failed when they were brought east: Gypsy Lady (1946), Magdalena (1948), The Great Waltz (1949), and Anya (1965), all using classical pieces for the music. The team's original scores were heard in the short‐lived Kean (1961) and the popular Grand Hotel (1989).
