Ep 199: MARC SHAIMAN ON BROADWAY

This is the second half of my recent conversation with Tony Award-winning composer, lyricist, arranger, and music producer MARC SHAIMAN about his new, New York Times bestselling book, NEVER MIND THE HAPPY.
During his five-decade career, Marc has found enormous success in nearly every aspect of show business, but in this episode, we focus on hisexperiences on Broadway, including CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, CHARLIE ANDTHE CHOCOLATE FACTORY and, most especially, the behind-the-scenes history and development of his smash-hit musical HAIRSPRAY.
