Adam Guettel Working on Musical Versions of MILLIONS, INVISIBLE MAN, et al.

According to the New York Times,  Tony winner Adam Guettel is currently working on bringing a handful of new shows to the stage. Guettel is busy writing musical adaptations of 'Invisible Man,' 'Days of Wine and Roses, and 'Millions.'

On the latter, he told NYT: “It’s just a lovely, funny, sweet, family-oriented musical, which I’ve never tried to do before. It’s a lot easier to write complex than it is to write simple.”

Guettel's early works include 1996's Floyd Collins, Love's Fire, and Saturn Returns (which was recorded as Myths and Hymns). Guettel's songs have been recorded by such artists as Audra McDonald and Brian d'Arcy James. He also contributed original scores to several documentary films, including Arguing the World and Jack: The Last Kennedy Film. In 1999, he performed a concert evening of his own work at New York's Town Hall.

In 2004, Guettel contributed vocals to Jessica Molaskey's P.S. Classics album Make Believe, dueting with Molaskey on the song "Glad To Be Unhappy." After six years working on the project, Guettel's musical The Light in the Piazza opened on Broadway in 2005. The show, which starred Victoria Clark and Kelli O'Hara, met with mixed critical notices, but on June 5, 2005, Adam Guettel won the Tony Award for Best Original Score and the Tony Award for Best Orchestrations.
