Michael Stewart (nee Rubin), librettist, lyricist, playwright, and novelist, was born in 1929 in New York City, where he attended Queens College. He received a Master of Fine Arts in drama from Yale in 1953. Prior to his work on Broadway, Stewart wrote for television and contributed sketches and lyrics to revues. His first effort on Broadway, BYE BYE BIRDIE, opened in 1960 and won Stewart his first Tony as its author. During his career in the musical theater Stewart also worked on BARNUM, CARNIVAL!, 42nd STREET, GEORGE M!, THE GRAND TOUR, I LOVE MY WIFE, and MACK & MABEL. Among his collaborators were the writers Mark Bramble, Fran Pascal and John Pascal, and the composers and lyricists, Lee Adams, Cy Coleman, Jerry Herman, Bob Merrill, Max Showalter, Charles Strouse and Jule Styne.
