| has gloss | eng: Background The 1930s style musical comedy thriller, Knat Scatt Private Eye was first produced as a musical for young audiences at The Childrens Theater Of The Second City in Chicago in 1985. The original production was produced by Players Workshop, the improv school and production company that trained young performers in sketch comedy for The Second City stage. After attending a performance of Knat Scatt Private Eye at the Second City, independent producers, Robert and Marion Mortimer commissioned the writers to rework the one act musical into a two act Broadway style production for adults. Composer and lyricist, Charlie Silliman , and script writer, Eric Forsberg rewrote the original childrens show to be more appealing to a general audience. The new version of Knat Scatt Private Eye was remounted in its new form at The Theater Building in Chicago later that year. |
