Bugs Bunny on Broadway Bugs Bunny on Broadway Bugs Bunny on Broadway (also titled Bugs Bunny at the Symphony and Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II) is a concert musical featuring "Looney Tunes" characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd. The production was conceived by George Daugherty, incorporating scores by Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn. The musical, and its 2010 sequel "Bugs Bunny at the Symphony", combines classic Warner Bros. "Looney Tunes" projected on a large screen accompanied by a live orchestra performing the original score. This production has been touring the world continuously since 1990 and has played to a
The Bugs Bunny Show in unison. For the final chorus, a lineup of "Looney Tunes" characters joins Bugs and Daffy onstage (Porky Pig is absent from the procession). "The Bugs Bunny Show" proved beneficial to the Warner Bros. cartoon staff, as it allowed the studio to remain open despite the shrinking market for theatrical animated shorts. The final first-run episode of the original "Bugs Bunny Show" aired on August 7, 1962, and the Warner Bros. animation studio closed the following spring. ABC began re-running "The Bugs Bunny Show" on Saturday mornings in mid-August 1962 until September 1967 when it was moved to Sunday mornings
