Tony Award Winning Playwright Itamar Moses stopped by Playwright's Spotlight. Chock full of humorous moments, Itamar shares his experience adapting the cherished animated film An American Tale for the stage, children's ability to suspend disbelief, and avoiding dumbing down the material for a younger audience. We also discuss when it's time for a table read and recognizing when the pace is slowing down during the developmental process. In addition, we talk about the impact of Tony Kushner's Angels in America in Itamar's playwriting career, his journey through NYU and pathway to the Tony's, craft vs voice and ambition, how to make something work, and the importance of always getting the story right first. We close the conversation with getting commissioned and what it entails as well as the death of theatre.

When it comes to writing songs for the world of musical theater, composer-lyricist Gaby Alter remains committed to getting it right. The process of serving the story, how a character can change over the course of a song, and making smart musical choices, are all key components that Alter continues to explore when making music for the stage. His most notable works include the musicals Band Geeks, Stars of David, and the New York critically acclaimed hit, Nobody Loves You, which he co-wrote with Tony Award-winning playwright, Itamar Moses. In this episode, Alter looks back at how he fell into the world of writing musicals in his hometown of Berkeley, California, his decision to move to New York, and how he and Itamar pitched Disney to write for the animated film Tinkerbell and The Pirate Fairy. Alter also talks about his work as a solo artist under the name Yes Gabriel, and the development of a new musical, Radio 930 set in East Berlin during the Cold War in the 1970's.  

This show is different from anything I’ve done before. I reached out to several former guests of the podcast and asked if they would be willing to talk for just a few minutes about how COVID-19 has affected their professions. I’m joined by people from a wide variety of creative careers. There’s guitarist Buck Curran, who lives at the European epicenter of the virus, Bergamo, Italy. I’m also joined by Miki Berenyi and Moose McKillop of Lush, Moose, and Piroshka; Chef Celina Tio of Top Chef, Iron Chef America & her restaurant, The Belfry; Gaby Alter who writes musical theater; Allen Epley of The Life and Times and The Blue Man Group; Leon McKenzie of SureSports; Writer & guitarist for The Lilacs, Ken Kurson; and road veteran, singer/songwriter/guitarist Morgan Geer. I’d like to thank them all for giving me more of their time and for their candor. We start off with Buck Curran from Bergamo, Italy. Intro and Interstitial music by Buck Curran.

Andrew Lippa discusses his career as a composer/lyricist for the Broadway stage.

When producer Aaron Harnick approached Abigail Pogrebin about adapting her book Stars of David: Prominent Jews Talk About Being Jewish to the stage, her first reaction was, “What have you been drinking?” Eventually she came around, and now Stars of David: Story to Song is making its off-Broadway debut. The show is a mix of songs—written by 17 song-writing teams, including Marvin Hamlisch, Sheldon Harnick, Gaby Alter, and Marilyn and Alan Bergman—and monologues, all based on Pogrebin’s interviews with high-profile Jews like Aaron Sorkin...

Reality television is lampooned a lot  — and loved a little bit, too — in a new musical now running at Second Stage Theatre. Written by the playwright Itamar Moses and the composer and lyricist Gaby Alter, Nobody Loves You follows a philosophy student’s televised pursuit of his girlfriend on a reality show that looks a lot like "The Bachelor." Other contestants, a telegenically smarmy host, and even a Twitter-addicted fan, all make appearances. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood tells us how successful Nobody Loves You is at parodying a genre that sometimes looks like a parody itself.
