How Many Shows Have Premiered After the Writer Has Passed Away?

After seeing Here We Are, I’m wondering: have other shows premiered after one of the writers has passed away?

Musicals mentioned in the article include:

  • Stephen Sondheim: Here We Are
  • Fred Ebb: Curtains, The Scottsboro Boys, The Visit and New York, New York (all Broadway)
  • Jonathan Larson: Rent (off-Broadway then Broadway) and tick tick Boom! (off-Broadway)
  • Howard Ashman: Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin (all Broadway) and Little Shop of Horrors (premiered off-Broadway while Ashman was alive, but on Broadway after his death)
  • Wendy Wasserstein and Cy Coleman: Pamela’s First Musical (New Jersey)

This is a New York (and New Jersey) centred article but there must be other shows which received their premieres after one of the writers died. Chime in if you know of any.
