Peter Kellogg is a Tony-nominated musical theater book writer and lyricist. He wrote the lyrics and the book for the 1992 production of the Broadway musical Anna Karenina, for which he received two 1993 Tony Award nominations. One for Best Book of a musical and one for the Best Original Score. He also wrote the lyrics and book for the musicals Chasing Nicolette (originally titled Nicolette and Aucassin), Desperate Measures, Lincoln In Love, Stunt Girl (aka Front Page Girl), Money The Musical, and The Rivals which have been read and produced regionally.

In addition, along with Albert C Todd, Kellogg wrote the English lyrics for Unruly Horses, which is a musical conceived by Moni and Mina Yakim and based on the Soviet Union song-writer and folk hero Vladimir Vysotsky.
