Librettist Allen Fawcett's musical, Madam of the Atom, was one of eight finalists in NYMF 2020 (New York Musical Festival). It was slated for production prior to the Covid 19 lock down.
A veteran of three Broadway musicals, Allen received star billing (above-the-title) as 'Joseph' with the late Laurie Beechman, in the American premiere of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Royale Theatre in 1981.
On TV, Fawcett recently co-starred on House of Cards with Joel Kinnaman, Mare of Easttown, with Kate Winslet, and Succession, with Jeremy Strong.
In Hollywood, Fawcett starred on Dick Clark's wildly popular TV lip-sync competition/game show, Puttin' On the Hits. He wrote and hosted all 134 half-hour episodes. Puttin' On the Hits was MCA/Universal TV's first, first-run syndicated hit. It aired nationwide on the Tribune Network.
Behind the camera, Fawcett provided creative services for Steven Spielberg at Universal Studios as a comedy consultant and dialogue coach for Harry and the Henderson's, a half-hour sit-com produced by Lin Oliver for Amblin Entertainment.
In 1986, Fawcett co-authored Kid Biz: How To Help Your Child Succeed in Show Business, a mass trade paperback published by Warner Books. Actors' Equity called Kidbiz, "The most responsible book ever written on the subject." His co-author is legendary New York talent agent, Nancy Carson (Carson-Adler Agency).
Fawcett is an active member of the Dramatists Guild. He has received commercial producer training from the Commercial Theatre Institute. He is also an active FAA licensed pilot and a member of the FAA's Wings Safety Program.
Allen dedicated musical, Madam of the Atom, to the memory of his father, Howard, who worked as a chemist on the Manhattan Project, building 'Little Boy,' the first atomic bomb. "Howard suggested I look up Lise Meitner, one day. Good advice, Dad."
