Today, I’m so excited to announce the release of my episode with Broadway legend Stephen Schwartz. Tune in to hear fascinating stories from his life and career, including how he came to make his Broadway debut with Butterflies are Free, drawing inspiration from politics in writing Wicked, the songwriter he wishes had been included in Working, the genesis of his new show The Queen of Versailles, facing resentment for the amount of success he had early on, the challenge of writing for Doug Henning, the rhyming dictionary he and Stephen Sondheim both use, the show that taught him the craft of writing lyrics, the challenge of collaborating with Bob Fosse, what he learned from Leonard Bernstein, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this in-depth interview, which was recorded in April 2022.
