Dramatists Guild's Stephen Schwartz on Marvin Hamlisch- 'A great and influential composer'

Just yesterday BroadwayWorld.com reported the loss of Broadway legend Marvin Hamlisch, and we've been sharing memories from around the theatre industry since. The below piece was written by fellow composer and Dramatists Guild president Stephen Schwartz.

The Dramatists Guild is saddened by the loss of one of our most admired and valued members. Marvin Hamlisch, among his many extraordinary accomplishments, was a great and influential composer for the theatre, and we will miss both his talent and his friendship.
