Kirshenbaum wrote the score for the off-Broadway musical Summer of '42 (book by Hunter Foster), which will be released later this fall as a 2-CD set on JAY Records.  His new show Party Come Here (book by Daniel Goldfarb) was recently seen at this year's New York Musical Theatre Festival.   And Vanities – A New Musical, his adaptation of the long-running hit play (book by its original author Jack Heifner) will be making its appearance on a New York stage next season following its unprecedented success at the NAMT Festival of New Musicals in October. Additionally, he wrote Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus (book by Myles McDonnell) and has composed for the Disney Channel series Johnny and the Sprites.  He received grants from the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation and the National Alliance for Musical Theatre.

Musical director Vadim Feichtner (Spelling Bee) leads a three-piece band, with additional arrangements by Lynne Shankel (Altar Boyz) and Carmel Dean (Vanities – A New Musical).  The evening is produced by Jayson Raitt.
