A theater producer falls in love with a foreign film and wants to adapt it as a live musical. Fast forward eight years and he's accepting a Tony Award on live television for Best Musical. For that producer, Orin Wolf, and that show, The Band's Visit, the path appeared smooth but was in fact arduous and steeply uphill. With no funding or support, Orin had to get people on board: investors, theater companies, and, perhaps most importantly, the original film's director. When all you've got is an idea, how do you convince the rest of the world?
