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!
