MISS GULCH RETURNS!Miss Gulch Returns! is my musical comedy valentine to the romantically disenfranchised, who can find a new metaphorical spokesperson in Miss Gulch, the ultimate "spinster" (as they used to be known). More>>

THE TWO SVENGALISIn the style of 1950's Hollywood backstage musicals, combined with the melodramatics of Douglas Sirk, The Two Svengalis ponders the mysterious electricity that mutually ignites two sympatico talents and the chaos that ensues as they try to figure out who's bringing out the brilliance of whom.

FORBIDDEN BROADWAYFORBIDDEN BROADWAY walked into my apartment one winter night in 1981, in the form of Nora Mae Lyng, parodist Gerard Alessandrini, and his longtime pianist/aide-de-camp Pete Blue; and a unique chemical reaction between us all turned a scrapbook full of lyrics and leadsheets into an international phenomenon.More>>

I appeared in HBO'S CATHOUSE: THE MUSICAL, also providing the musical supervision and arrangements. The show premiered in 2008, and continues to air.

Sheila Nevins (HBO Documentaries) and producer Patti Kaplan conceived CATHOUSE: THE MUSICAL as the finale for the unlikely hit series depicting life at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a legal brothel in Carson City, Nevada.

I coached the talent, rehearsed, arranged, sang, and led the live band for the 11 songs included in the show. Scott Thompson directed and choreographed.

CATHOUSE: THE MUSICAL was filmed in Virginia City, at the historic 1875 Opera House where Maude Adams, John Philip Sousa, and Mark Twain, and all the greatest talents of the late 1800's once played. Now a slightly different brand of talent has been added to the history of the opera house...

The Moonlite Bunny Ranch ladies, and Dennis Hof, the proprietor, put on their dancing shoes and worked very hard to learn to sing and dance their numbers. The show consists of interviews, rehearsal footage, and the final performance footage. The show contains adult language and graphic sexual footage: not suitable for children of any ages!
