  • A panel of acclaimed, Tony Award-winning composers and lyricists - Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, William Finn and Adam Guettel - discuss their first theatrical experiences, the process of writing and composing, what's involved in working with a partner, early influences on their music, and where they find inspiration; offer advice for students; and demonstrate their craft by playing a bit of their work.
    An acclaimed fixture on New York television and in the theatre community for 30 years, the American Theatre Wing's "Working in the Theatre" offers an unprecedented forum for the meeting of theatrical minds.

    I really couldn't watch this full episode. These people are so terrible at what they do. Hardly a decent show between the lot of them. None of them have had any impact on the theatre, other than proving that the new generation of lyricists and composers are generic and mediocre, at best.
