I can&#8217;t tell you how excited I am to present this episode to you. I spoke to Adam Guettel while he was in London performing an evening of his songs, with Musical Director Kimberly Grigsby (Spring Awakening, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark). It&#8217;s fair to say that Adam is musical theatre royalty, being the grandson of Richard Rodgers, perhaps the greatest composer of musicals. Stephen Sondheim has been a friend and mentor since Adam&#8217;s childhood.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the weight of this considerable legacy, Adam emerged in 1996 with <em>Floyd Collins,<\/em> a musical with book and direction by Tina Landau, and with one of the most brilliant and original scores of the decade. He has since written a song cycle, Saturn Returns, later retitled <em>Myths and Hymns,<\/em> and most recently <em>The Light in the Piazza, <\/em>which bagged a slew of Tonys in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Given the above, it&#8217;s also extraordinary that he&#8217;s one of the loveliest people you could meet. I hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>ps &#8211; I&#8217;d love to know what you think about this and other podcasts in the series.
