At the piano: (l to r) Andrew Gerle, Joel Markowitz, Eddie Sugarman
They are the newest ‘it’ guys – composer Andrew Gerle and lyricist Eddie Sugarman – loaded with talent, funny, refreshing and boy can they sell a song! They have hit the big time with their first partnership (they also co-wrote the book) for their new musical Meet John Doe with a gorgeous multi-million dollar Ford’s Theatre production, orchestrated by a Broadway great, directed by Eric Schaeffer. Listen in on this lively session with Joel Markowitz which ends with Andrew and Eddie’s rendition of what will be one of the show’s big numbers ‘Money Talks’ featuring Stephen Gregory Smith.

Ditto. I caught the production at Goodspeed. It was great then. Sounds as if it’s even better now. I can’t wait for the Broadway opening.

I enjoyed this podcast. It was interesting listening to the composers singing bits of their songs.
