Very pleased about this one!
Schmigadoon!'s Emmy submission for Original Music & Lyrics, featuring the wonderful Cecily Strong & @KeeganMKey! #FYC
Here’s a clip of one of the four tunes I orchestrated for the upcoming #littlemermaid film #arranger #orchestrator youtu.be/VgrqAgDqg0Y
"I'm proud of how I handled that," said me, to myself (trying to improve my self-talk). #selftalk #bekindtoyou
Sending much love and gratitude to all the fans of #Schmigadoon - enjoy the #soundtrack album! #schmicago music.apple.com/us/album/schmi…
I packed this stuff myself all in one day which may not seem like much except *I’m 58 freaking years old, people!*
Gotta take this opportunity to express my adoration for the incredible #CecilyStrong. Her performance of “Maybe It’s My Turn Now” in this week’s episode of #Schmigadoon / #Schmicago is perfection. And every note of that performance is Cecily belting it out live on set. ❤️❤️❤️

Once more with hashtags… #Schmigadoon #Schmicago #Broadway #singers A huge thanks to all the unacknowledged folks whose brilliant voices you hear in Season 2 of Schmigadoon! (with all the Twitter handles I could find…)
Thank you @playbill for the shout-out - but I must credit @DavidBChase for at least 59% of the musical Easter eggs in the songs in this season's episodes of #Schmigadoon. @cincopedia @mrchriswillis #schmicago playbill.com/article/orphan…
There are many, many musical Easter Eggs in Season 2 of #Schmigadoon (some more hidden than others) - reply to let @DavidBChase and I know when you've found a good one! #Schmicago #AppleTVPlus
Whoa!
And on the other side of the country, I absolutely loved A.D. 16 at @OlneyTheatre! @cincopedia's incredible score is a true delight plus add in @k8spelman choreo, @DougBesterman orchestrations, Stephen Brackett & Bekah Brunstetter plus @PlznFankU?!? Recipe for success.
Sneak peak into rehearsals - the cast sounding glorious!

"I miss being together so much, it's just like they're my family. And they are. Of all the people I choose to associate with (kids in my classes, band people, speech & debate people) the people I like to associate with the most are play people." From my journal, 1980.

Early this morning, I said farewell. We'd been together for weeks as I listened - on the street, on trains, in waiting rooms - to her glorious minutiae. She was the friend who called you at all hours and you always took the call. Bye, Barbra, my longest-term audio relationship.
@BroadwayWorld @BCEFA Is @BCEFA also extending their support to the families in kibbutzim affected by Hamas' terrorism? Hamas-the elected government of Palestine, correct? What about helping the thousands of innocent Israeli citizens whose homes and lives have been devastated? #BCEFA #HumanitarianAid…
