Rick Elice is a gay American playwright and librettist, a Cornell graduate who earned an MFA at Yale School of Drama and spent nearly two decades, from 1982 to 2000, as creative director at the advertising agency Serino Coyne, producing campaigns for roughly 300 Broadway shows. He co-wrote the book for Jersey Boys (2005) with Marshall Brickman, which won the 2006 Tony Award for Best Musical, and later wrote Peter and the Starcatcher (2011), a Peter Pan prequel that received a record nine Tony nominations for a new American play and won five, including Best Play. He also co-wrote the book for the Broadway musical adaptation of The Addams Family (2010) and the libretto for The Cher Show (2018). Elice married actor Roger Rees in 2012, shortly after New York legalized same-sex marriage, and remained with him until Rees's death from brain cancer in 2015.
