Stephen Schwartz (stephenschwartz.com) was born in New York City on March 6, 1948. He studied piano and composition at the Juilliard School of Music while in high school and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1968 with a B.F.A. in Drama. Upon coming back to live in New York City, he went to work as an A&R producer for RCA Records, but shortly thereafter began to work in the Broadway theatre. His first major credit was the title song for the play BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE; the song was eventually used in the movie version as well. In 1971, he wrote the music and new lyrics for GODSPELL, for which he won two Grammys among other awards. This was followed by the English texts, in collaboration with Leonard Bernstein, for Bernstein's MASS, which opened the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The following year, he wrote the music and lyrics for PIPPIN, and two years later, THE MAGIC SHOW. At one point, GODSPELL, PIPPIN and THE MAGIC SHOW were all running on Broadway simultaneously. He next wrote the music and lyrics for THE BAKER'S WIFE, followed by a musical version of Studs Terkel's WORKING, to which he contributed four songs and which he also adapted and directed, winning a Drama Desk Award as best director. He also co-directed the television production, which was presented as part of the PBS “American Playhouse” series. Other work for the musical theatre includes lyrics to RAGS (music by Charles Strouse), music and lyrics for CHILDREN OF EDEN, and two musicals produced overseas, MIT EVENTYR (MY FAIRY TALE) in Denmark and SCHIKANEDER in Austria. He has also written songs for two musicals for young audiences, CAPTAIN LOUIE and MY SON, PINOCCHIO. Compilation revues of his work include SNAPSHOTS and, for Princess Cruise Lines, MAGIC TO DO. For film, he collaborated with composer Alan Menken on the songs for Disney's POCAHONTAS, for which he received two Academy Awards and another Grammy, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, and ENCHANTED. He also provided songs for DreamWorks' first animated feature, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, for which he won another Academy Award for the song “When You Believe.” THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and THE PRINCE OF EGYPT have both been adapted for the stage. Mr. Schwartz's most recent stage musical, WICKED, opened in the fall of 2003 and is currently running on Broadway and in several other productions around the world. He received another Grammy for the cast recording, and in 2008, WICKED reached its 1900th performance on Broadway, making Mr. Schwartz the only songwriter in Broadway history ever to have three shows run more than 1900 performances. His first opera, SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON, premiered at Opera Santa Barbara in the fall of 2009 and was subsequently produced by New York City Opera. His frequently-performed choral works include “Testimony”, based on the It Gets Better Project, “Keramos” and part of the “Tyler Clemente Suite.” He has also released two singer/songwriter CDs, RELUCTANT PILGRIM and UNCHARTED TERRITORY. Mr. Schwartz has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2015, he received the Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award for his humanitarian and mentorship contributions to the theatre. A book about his career, “Defying Gravity,” has been released by Applause Books. Under the auspices of the ASCAP Foundation, he has been the artistic director of musical theatre workshops in New York and Los Angeles for over twenty years, as well as conducting workshops for aspiring musical theatre writers and performers in countries around the world, including Australia, Germany, Latvia and Kenya. He is also a past President and current Council Member of the Dramatists' Guild.

The Sydcast

Episode SummaryIn a seven-year period Jerry Zaks won four Tony Awards for best director. But he wasn't supposed to even be on Broadway. Getting there meant disappointing his parents, unleashing an innate competitiveness to be the best, and taking giant risks that many others wouldn't. In our conversation on the Sydcast, Jerry is candid, introspective, and hilarious as he provides a roadmap for young actors and directors – indeed, for anyone crafting a career – by sharing his journey, then and now. Syd FinkelsteinSyd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Masters degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University.

Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life. Jerry ZaksJERRY ZAKS was most recently represented on Broadway by the Tony Award-winning production of Hello, Dolly!, Steve Martin's Meteor Shower, and A Bronx Tale: The Musical. Mr. Zaks has directed more than 30 productions in New York. He has received four Tony Awards and eight Tony Award nominations.

The overall secret to being successful in any endeavor you choose.Strategies of different productions he has worked on and the challenges and exaltations that come with each show. Quotes from the show: On seeing his first musical: “I was floored by the joy that the experience generated; the laughter, the lights, the music, all of it just transported me in a way that got my attention seriously for the first time in my life.” – Jerry Zaks“It's impossible to overstate what an awakening going to Dartmouth (College) was.” – Jerry ZaksOn getting his career started in New York City: “One of the things I had going in my favor was ferocious determination and relentless drive to get myself noticed. I didn't want to fail.” – Jerry Zaks“You get an opportunity to do well; you get more opportunities.” – Jerry ZaksOn auditioning: “You have to distinguish yourself.” – Jerry Zaks“You can call yourself an actor, but unless you're actually acting, you feel less than whole.” – Jerry Zaks“It's amazing how quickly you can get credibility as a director if something you do goes well.” – Jerry ZaksOn the job of directing: “You're the CEO of the show.”– Syd FinkelsteinHis advice to young people in the industry: “You've got to work. You've got to work.” – Jerry Zaks“I've rarely worked with anybody that's a big name that isn't a tremendously hard worker.” – Jerry Zaks“I think people have very short memories; what they remember is your last successful show.” – Jerry Zaks“It's hard to describe the sound of an audience that's been thrilled.” – Jerry ZaksStay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastJerry ZaksTwitter: @JerryZaksSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.

276 - Charles Strouse Almost every single American and countless people around the world have heard the music of composer Charles Strouse. The word “legendary” is not too strong of a word to describe Mr. Strouse and his incredible melodies. An inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Theatre Hall of Fame, Strouse has written the scores for over 30 stage musicals including 14 for Broadway as well as 5 Hollywood films, 2 Orchestral works and an opera. His songs like “Tomorrow” (from Annie) and “Put On A Happy Face,” and “A Lot of Livin' To Do” are recognizable in an instant. Here we find the composer speaking very candidly about his life and what it means to be an artist. The music of Charles Strouse has made a very positive mark on the world and the fact that the greatest performers in recorded music such as Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick, Jr., Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, and Duke Ellington have chosen to record and perform his songs is a testament to the quality of his work. One of his greatest songs of his would be “once Upon a Time” which has become something of a standard. The music of Charles Strouse will always be heard and his name will forever be among the greatest composers of our time. It's right here on The Paul Leslie Hour.
