After 83 Years and 2 Abandoned Attempts, Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth Is Finally a Musical

Playbill: Fast forward to now, 2025, as The Seat of Our Pants, the third attempt at a Skin of Our Teeth musical, is running at Off-Broadway’s Public Theater (where healthy ticket sales and positive reviews have extended it through December 7). And in a miraculous turn, Tappan loves it, raving: “I’m blown away. Through his inspired music and a gifted cast, Ethan Lipton has made my uncle's Skin accessible for all of us in today’s (ever crazy) world. A long overdue and exciting window to the past and the future has been opened. I see this show as a timely, and timeless, realized dream come true.””
