Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, which will run Friday and Saturday, combines cartoons with commentary by the show's creator, George Daugherty, who will conduct the philharmonic. Symphony is the successor to Daugherty's Bugs Bunny on Broadway, a concert of Warner Bros. classics accompanied by orchestra that premiered in 1990 and has been performed around the world, including at the Bowl nine times.
Bugs Bunny was the product of many fathers: Ben n"Bugsm" Hardaway (who created a prototypical version of the character called Happy Rabbit in 1938's t"Porky's Hare Hunt."), Bob Clampett, Tex Avery (who developed Bugs' definitive personality in 1940), Robert McKimson (created the definitive Bugs Bunny character design), Chuck Jones, and Friz Freleng (from Wikipedia).
