He is a 2011 Lucille Lortel Award Nominee[1] and the recipient of both the 2009 Jonathan Larson Grant and the 2008 Richard Rodgers Award for Musical Theater.[2] Oliver is an adjunct professor at Pace University in New York, and Artistic Director of the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program in California. He received his B.A. in Music Composition from UCLA and his M.F.A. in Musical Theatre Writing from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. He is also the creator of the blog Crazytown and a member of ASCAP. Oliver's work has been performed at the Writers Guild Awards,[3] Off Broadway in TheatreWorksUSA's We the People,[4] and in countless showcases.

Early life

Oliver was born in Pasadena, California and his interest in musicals began at 9 years old when he joined a local summer musical theater camp. In 2004, Oliver took over the program as Artistic Director and renamed it the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program.[7] Oliver also attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.

Works

Mrs. Sharp

Mrs. Sharp, with music and lyrics by Oliver and book by Kirsten Guenther, is loosely based on the 1991 teacher-student sex scandal and murder trial surrounding Pamela Smart. The musical was first performed at NYU in 2007 under the direction of Ryan Mekenian with Alex Brightman, Scott Evans, and Ali Stroker in the cast and under the title “Alive at Ten” (a play on the lead character’s aspirations of being a news anchor “live at 10”). Additional performances of the work included an ASCAP concert featuring music direction by Alex Lacamoire and a presentation at the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, also directed by Ryan Mekenian.

Mrs. Sharp was ultimately given a staged reading under its new title at Playwrights Horizons in 2009 in a production directed by Michael Greif with Jane Krakowski as the title character. Playwright Horizons described Mrs. Sharp as:[8]

[T]he story of a woman who "wants you to become more." Having written an unsuccessful self-help series entitled Invent Yourself: Five Words to Live By, 31-year-old Kimberly Sharp is encouraged by her husband to take a job teaching at the local high school. Kimberly sets out to change the lives of her students, absorbing them into her web of fantastical delusions and private affairs. But when her husband discovers she's gone just a bit too far, Kimberly realizes only one thing can be done about him. Someone goes to jail, someone becomes a beloved self-help guru and someone gets shot in the head — but everyone learns a lesson from Mrs. Sharp.

Darling

Darling, conceived by Brett Ryback and with the book, music and lyrics by Oliver, is a dark retelling of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. It follows sixteen year-old Darling in 1920s New England, and her adventures with Peter, a rent-boy. With him, she explores the seedy underground world of drugs, sex, and a white powder called Dust.[9] Darling was featured on the "Bound for Broadway" episode of NBC's The Apprentice in 2010, and[10] was presented by Pace New Musicals Program in 2009, and in 2012, was given a private workshop and developmental production as a collaboration between Retrop Production and RareWorks Theatre Company, in association with Sh-K-Boom Records, at Emerson College.[11] In 2013, Darling received The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company New Musical Award. In 2019, a staged reading of "Darling" was performed at NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development.

35MM

35MM, a multimedia "musical exhibition" in which photographic images by Oliver in collaboration with his partner Matthew Murphy inspire music and lyrics, and inversely music and lyrics inspire photographs, is preserved as an original cast recording by the Ghostlight label.[12] A full developmental production was presented at Urban Stages in December 2010, directed by Daisy Prince. 35MM made its Off-Broadway World Premiere at the Galapagos Art Space in New York City on March 7, 2012 starring Lindsay Mendez. Due to popular demand, the show was extended and sold out its run. 35MM is currently being licensed and has received productions in Baltimore, Maryland;[13] Dayton, Ohio;[14] London; and Canada in 2013.[15] In June 2015, it made its Australian premiere in the inaugural season of Hayward Street's Incubator Series in Brisbane, Queensland.

Jasper in Deadland

Jasper in Deadland is a pop-rock musical based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It follows 16-year-old Jasper Jarvis as he travels through the Afterlife on a mission to save his best friend, Agnes. Jasper in Deadland was commissioned in 2011 for the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program, and premiered as part of the Los Angeles Festival of New Musicals. In 2014 it was produced by Prospect Theater Company at the West End Theatre in New York City starring Matt Doyle, Ben Crawford, Allison Scagliotti, and Bonnie Milligan and directed by Brandon Ivie.[16] In 2015, it had a tryout at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, Washington, with Matt Doyle, Sydney Shepherd, and Louis Hobson and directed by Brandon Ivie. In February 2016 at Studio 54 a CD release concert was held starring Matt Doyle and Sydney Shepard. The CD was released in May 2016.[17]

We Foxes

We Foxes, a Southern Gothic Thriller set in Missouri, 1945, is a new project started commissioned by Broadway Across America. We Foxes tells about Willa, a tough and unmannered orphan girl adopted by the Sheriff’s Wife, a calculating socialite, and the bloody domestic war that ensues between them when the girl uncovers the terrible secrets lurking beneath the floorboards. Oliver attended the TheatreWorks Silicon Valley Writer's Retreat in April 2013 for We Foxes. This show was also featured at CAP 21 and the Weston Playhouse.[18]
