This tidbit in a Boston Globe article about Rupert Holmes and a local production of THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD caught my eye:

[Rupert Holmes is] currently represented on Broadway with "Curtains," the Kander and Ebb musical set in 1959, for which Holmes contributed the book and some additional lyrics. Upcoming projects include a musical based on Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and the book for Mark Holman's musical version of "My Man Godfrey."

So this would be a Holmes-Holman collaboration? I can't find anything about Mark Holman. Anyone know what else he has done?

Evidently there was some inkling of this back in August, although no names had been attached to the project:

Well, Mark Hollmann did the music and lyrics for URINETOWN. Bad fact-checking by the Globe?
