	Jason Robert Brown Jason Robert Brown has been hailed as “one of Broadway's smartest and most sophisticated songwriters since Stephen Sondheim” (Philadelphia Inquirer). The Last Five Years was cited as one of Time Magazine’s 10 Best of 2001 and won Drama Desk Awards for Best Music and Best Lyrics. Jason won a 1999 Tony Award for his score to Parade and subsequently won both the Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards for Best New Musical. Works include: Last Five Years Parade Songs For A New World 13 Read more about the shows.....
	George Gershwin In 1924, when George teamed up with his older brother Ira, “the Gershwins” became the dominant Broadway songwriters, creating brisk, infectious rhythm numbers and affectingly poignant ballads, invariably fashioning the words to fit the melodies with a “glove-like” fidelity. This extraordinary collaboration led to a succession of musical comedies, among them Of Thee I Sing (1931), the first musical comedy to win a Pulitzer Prize. Works include:  Let 'Em Eat Cake Of Thee I Sing Strike Up The Band Read more about the shows.....
	Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt wrote The Fantasticks for a summer theatre at Barnard College. After its Off-Broadway opening in May 1960, it went on to become the longest-running production in the history of the American stage and one of the most frequently produced musicals in the world. It is currently running in a successful revival in New York. In addition to an Obie Award and the 1992 Special Tony Award for The Fantasticks , in 1999, their “stars” were added to the Off-Broadway Walk of Fame outside the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Works include:  Celebration Colette Collage The Fantasticks I Do! I Do! Mirette Philemon Roadside Read more about the shows.....
	Jerry Bock and Sheldon HarnickBock and Harnick’s celebrated collaboration yielded five scores in seven years including Fiorello which won Broadway’s triple crown -  The Tony Award, The New York Critics’ Circle Award and The Pulitzer Prize in drama -  only the fourth musical to do so. Since then, Bock and Harnick were triply honored by being inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame, receiving the Johnny Mercer Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Spirit of American Creativity Award from the Foundation for a Creative America. Works include:Fiorello Tenderloin She Loves Me Fiddler on the Roof The Apple Tree The Rothschilds Read more about the shows.....
	Charles Strouse A long-standing member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in January 2002, an inductee into The Theater Hall of Fame, Charles Strouse’s first Broadway musical, Bye Bye Birdie, won him a Tony Award and the London Critics Best Foreign Musical Award. Strouse created the ASCAP Musical Theatre Workshop in New York, where he encouraged the talents of countless young composers, writers and performers. In 1999, Strouse received the ASCAP Foundation Richard Rodgers Award for Career Lifetime Achievement in Musical Theatre. Works include: Annie Annie JR. Annie Warbucks Bye Bye Birdie Superman Read more about the shows.....
