JAY JOHNSON: THE TWO AND ONLY! will make its 
Broadway bow at the Helen Hayes Theatre this 
spring with its previews set for Tuesday, March 
21, and its opening on Monday April 3 2006.

In his 30-year career, Jay Johnson has converted 
generations of ventriloquist-avoiding Americans 
with his charm, anarchy and innovative wit. In 
JAY JOHNSON: THE TWO AND ONLY! he deconstructs 
and demonstrates his lifelong obsession.

Best known for playing the schizophrenic role of 
Chuck and Bob on the classic television comedy 
Soap, Jay Johnson is recognized as one of our 
foremost ventriloquists, returning the ancient 
craft to its rightful place as an art form. From 
the Oracle of Delphi to The Tonight Show, 
ventriloquism has long provided insight as well as entertainment.

Jay Johnson is a writer, philosopher, comic, 
poet, and artist. In the show, he takes us on a 
multi-dimensional journey that combines his 
skills with a parade of characters that range 
from a subversive monkey to a withering tennis ball.

JAY JOHNSON: THE TWO AND ONLY! is directed and 
co-created by Murphy Cross and Paul Kreppel. 
Their collective credits include Broadway (A 
Chorus Line, Godspell), New York Shakespeare 
Festival, film (Annie, Perfect) and TV (Deadwood, 
Carnivale, ER, It=92s a Living, Taxi and Cheers) as 
directors, performers and choreographers.

JAY JOHNSON: THE TWO AND ONLY! is produced by 
Roger Alan Gindi, Stewart F. Lane & Bonnie 
Comley, Dan Whitten, Herbert Goldsmith 
Productions, and WetRock Entertainment. It comes 
to Broadway following an acclaimed run at The 
Atlantic Theater Company last year.

The creative team for JAY JOHNSON: THE TWO AND 
ONLY! is Beowulf Boritt (Scenery), Clifton Taylor 
(Lighting), David Gotwald (Sound) and Michael Andreas (Original Music)
