Together, Menken and Feldman composed the original 1992 film version of Newsies and have collaborated on updating the Tony-nomiated stage version.

Alan Menken is currently represented on Broadway with three productions - Newsies, Siser Act and Leap of Faith - and boasts nineteen oscar nominations and eight wins. He is perhaps best know for scoring Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Home on the Range, The Shaggy Dog, Enchanted, and most recently, Tangled.
