According to Howard dives into the unique life and times of one of the most controversial individuals of the 20th Century: Howard Robard Hughes, Jr.. Once one of the richest men in the world whose every action became front page news, Hughes' later years were marked by increasingly eccentric behavior caused in part by his worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic pain, and paranoia.
With music by Jim Scully, a book by Frank Evans with revisions by Jennifer Paulson-Lee and Scully, and lyrics by Evans with additional lyrics by Chad Gorn, According to Howard will be directed by Jennifer Paulson-Lee, with music direction and arrangements by Scott Cady.
The production team will include lighting designer Indigo Garcia, sound designer Sean Hagerty, projection designer Evan Frank, and production manager Noah Glaister. Stormy Lambert is production stage manager and Ashton Pickering is assistant stage manager.
