STAGE TUBE: Christopher Lennertz & David Zippel Team Up for Musical Number on MARVEL'S AGENT CARTER

Since the show's premiere last year, Lennertz has scored the entire series. Below, check out "A Little Song and Dance" from last night's episode!

"It was such a thrill to collaborate on a song with David . His musical style blended well with the jazzy musical tone we were going for, especially on this episode. I am so honored to have had the opportunity to work on two ABC shows, and with two great talents on Broadway, David Zippel and Alan Menken." Lennertz and Menken write the score for GALAVANT together, and are collaborating on the score for the upcoming film Sausage Party. Menken has never collaborated on a score before until Galavant.

Agent Carter follows Marvel comics character Peggy Carter as she balances life as a secret agent and a single woman in 1940's America. In the second season, she moves from New York to Los Angeles to deal with the threats of the new Atomic Age in the aftermath of World War ll. For the score, Lennertz uses brass instruments to highlight the big band era and French Horns and strings to enhance the action scenes. "Peggy is sexy and seductive and with the strings one can slip into espionage and tension", Lennertz explains.
