LOS ANGELES, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Charlotte Caffey, of the revolutionary
girl-band "The Go-Go's" and record label partner Anna Waronker are writing the
music for the upcoming rock production, "Lovelace: The Musical," based on the
life and career of adult film actress Linda Lovelace, star of "Deep Throat."
    Caffey wrote several hit songs for The Go-Go's including "We Got The
Beat," and in 2002 wrote the Number One country hit, "But For The Grace Of
God," for singer Keith Urban. Waronker is daughter of Dreamworks Records
President Lenny Waronker. Her band "That Dog" produced three critically
acclaimed albums on the DGC/Geffen Records label. Her current release is "Anna
By Anna Waronker."
    The book and lyrics for "Lovelace: The Musical" were created Jeffery
Bowman, author of nine produced plays, including 1995's "Inaccurate
Information" at The Hudson Theater. He is also the author of "Diva: The
Unauthorized Biography Of Whitney Houston" published by HarperCollins.
    Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's is a creative consultant with the project.
    Former "Family Ties" child T.V. star Tina Yothers will portray Linda
Lovelace in a showcase presentation of the musical to be presented on June 20,
21, 22 and 27 at Theatre Of NOTE in Hollywood. Yothers is well known on the
L.A. club circuit as a musician and singer.
    "Lovelace: The Musical" is set at the beginning of the "sexual
revolution," which Lovelace helped to create with her appearance in the
low-budget porn film "Deep Throat." The musical chronicles her journey from
small-town life to the world of adult films and her eventual crossover into
the Hollywood elite. Says Waronker, "The musical is performed as a 'rock
opera' with soaring ballads, driving rhythms, blues, disco and rock --
reminiscent of the 70's but also very contemporary."
    Adds Caffey, "I was first attracted to the human interest side of Linda's
story and then fell in love with the idea of it being a musical. Most people
know Linda as just 'the Deep Throat' girl; but through songs ranging from
delicate ballads to big production numbers, we are telling a bigger story of
this woman's life."
    The June showcase will feature eight songs and scenes from the full
production, with plans for a fall 2003 Off-Broadway opening at The Revelation
Theater in New York.

      Lovelace: The Musical- June 20, 21, 22 and 27
