U-M alumni and songwriting team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul win Lucille Lortel Award
The award came on the heels of the duo's first Tony Award nomination (for the score from "A Christmas Story: The Musical"), as well as additional nominations for Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards.
"Dogfight" opened at the Second Stage Theater in July 2012, and features a book by Peter Duchan. Inspired by the River Pheonix film of the same name, the show focuses on a group of Marines who celebrate their last night Stateside by competing to recruit the ugliest date each can find to attend a party.
