Timeline
Steve Cuden (born September 25, 1955, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American screenwriter, director, lyricist, playwright, author, theater lighting designer, artist, and teacher.
He is best known for his work on the Broadway musical, Jekyll & Hyde, as well as his writing for numerous television series.
The eldest son of Dr. Charles L. Cuden and Helen M. Cuden, he graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 1973.
Cuden attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1973–1976 and the University of Southern California from 1976–1978, from where he graduated with a B.A. in Theater.
Upon graduation from USC, he became the USC School of Theater's Master Electrician.
In 1980, Cuden and Wildhorn wrote the first two versions that they would create of a musical based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The second version that they wrote, which Cuden then titled, Jekyll & Hyde, was completed in 1986.
In the 1980s, Cuden won numerous awards for designing lighting of stage productions in Los Angeles, including 3 Plays of Love and Hate, for director John Cassavetes, Playing for Time, for director Mimi Leder, Piece de Resistance, for director Abraham Polonsky, and Dinner and Drinks, for director Monte Markham.
The musical was nearly produced on Broadway in 1988, with Terrence Mann set to star, but the production never came to fruition due to the financial backers withdrawing funding prior to rehearsals.
Cuden still retains both co-conceptual and co-lyrics credits on the show.
Cuden was Supervisor of Ride and Show Lighting at Universal Studios Florida from 1989-1990.
Cuden was married to Lisa Ann Kranz from 1993–1996, but the marriage ended in divorce.
Jekyll & Hyde ran on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre from April 1997 through January 2001 for a total of 1543 performances.
Cuden is also known for directing Lucky, an independently produced, multiple award-winning horror-comedy feature that was released by MTI Home Video in 2004.
Cuden received an MFA in Screenwriting from UCLA's School of Theater, Film, and Television in 2010.
He began teaching Screenwriting at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2011.
It was while Cuden was working as the Master Electrician at USC's School of Theatre on a musical called Christopher, written by composer Frank Wildhorn, that the two met, struck up a friendship, and began to collaborate on writing musicals.
Their first effort was a song cycle based on the life of Julius Caesar called The High and Mighty Caesar. They also collaborated on a musical based on the lives of Nicholas and Alexandra called The Last Tsar.
Its first revival on Broadway opened in April 2013, and closed after thirty performances.
Cuden and Wildhorn also co-conceived a musical based on the story of Rudolf, the last Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his death at his hunting lodge, Mayerling.
Originally called Vienna, the musical was not completed prior to Cuden and Wildhorn parting ways.
Wildhorn later revived the idea, first with Nan Knighton, and later with Jack Murphy.
They retitled it, Rudolf: Affaire Mayerling. The musical has been produced in Hungary, Austria, Japan, and Korea.
Cuden still retains co-conceptual credits and co-lyrics credits.
Cuden is well known for writing episodes of television animation for popular shows as: The Batman, X-Men, Iron Man, Loonatics Unleashed, Xiaolin Showdown, Goof Troop, The Mask, Bonkers, Quack Pack, Gargoyles, Beetlejuice, The Pink Panther, Savage Dragon, RoboCop, Stargate Infinity, Exosquad, Skeleton Warriors, and Mummies Alive.
In 2013, Cuden published a book titled, Beating Broadway: How to Create Stories for Musicals That Get Standing Ovations.
In 2015, as a companion book to Beating Broadway, Cuden published, Beating Hollywood: Tips for Creating Unforgettable Screenplays.
In 2017, Cuden launched a new podcast, StoryBeat: Storytellers on Storytelling, which he produces and hosts.
Shows focus on in-depth interviews with artists from all disciplines regarding their creative process.''
