FAQ : How'd the name Lyssie J -- come about?
Doug always spoke of Lyssie — with no nickname - as Lysistrata Jones. He even had a file with the full name on his computer When Paul Downs Colaizzo came on board as associate writer of Sister Act every time he’d see the file on Doug’s Computer he’d shout out “Lyssie J!” Paul’s cool like that. The next time Doug did some writing on the show, he...

A Letter from Lonny Price to Douglas Carter Beane
Dear Doug,
The playbill for Lysistrata Jones has been sitting on my desk for weeks in order to remind me to write to you to tell you how terrific I thought the show was. I saw the Saturday night before it closed, and was knocked out by it. The book was smart and funny, (and about something!), the songs were terrific, Dan’s work was flawless (I’ve written to him to tell him so), and...
