Stephen Witkin joined us again to talk about his career writing the book for various musicals, and shared three songs resulting from his writing.

We talked about:

• The difference between “On Broadway” and “Off Broadway”
• Prom Queens Unchained available from Samuel French
• different sub-genres in musicals
• the nature of collaboration between book writer, lyricist, and composer
• what’s an “I Want” song?
• what the heck is underscoring?

Download the lyrics for the songs.

It was also our very own Bruce’s birthday! Happy birthday Bruce!
