A Man of No Importance is a musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Terrence McNally, based on the 1994 Albert Finney film. The musical tells the story of Alfie Byrne, an Oscar Wilde-loving bus driver in 1960's Dublin. Alfie's passion is directing an amateur theatre group at St. Imelda’s Church Hall, where he stages works by his idol. A tender and beautifully woven tale of love, friendship, and coming to terms with who we are that is sure to move and inspire your audiences, A Man of No Importance has been performed in many theatres around the world since its debut in 2002. The original cast included Roger Rees as Alfie Byrne, Faith Prince as Adele Rice, Mary Testa as Lily O'Grady, Terrence Mann as Father Kenny O'Malley, and Marc Kudisch as Robbie Faye. The show was nominated for seven Tony Awards including Best Musical but unfortunately did not win any awards. In 2003, a London production opened at the Apollo Theatre starring Rufus Sewell as Alfie Byrne and Jane Krakowski as Adele Rice.
This production was also well received and ran for six months before closing in 2004. In 2006, a studio cast album was released featuring performances from some of the original Broadway cast members including Roger Rees and Faith Prince along with new performers such as Brian d'Arcy James and Sutton Foster. The album was nominated for two Grammy Awards but did not win either award.
