Bugs Bunny on Broadway

Bugs Bunny on Broadway is a concert musical featuring Looney Tunes characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd. The production was conceived by George Daugherty in 1990, incorporating scores by Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn.
== History ==
Bugs Bunny on Broadway premiered on 16 June 1990 at the Civic Theatre in San Diego, California. A limited Broadway run of the show played at the George Gershwin Theatre from 4 October 1990, to 23 October 1990, with all performances sold-out. Voice characterizations were by Arthur Q. Bryan and Mel Blanc, with the The Warner Brothers Symphony Orchestra. Animation direction was by Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson and Robert Clampett.
In 1996, a production played in Sydney, Australia. The original concert toured from 1990 until 2010, appearing with virtually every major American symphony orchestra, and with major symphonic ensembles in Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.
Among its major achievements were a sold-out week in Moscow's Kremlin Palace, a performance for The British Royal Family at London's Royal Festival Hall (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra), fifteen separate performances at The Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and a benefit concert with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra on 17 July 2009.
