He also plays and sings some of the earlier, lesser known tunes that helped establish him as one of the most prolific and successful songwriters in the history of the musical theater.
In part 2 on September 26 at 12:30 AM, the Tony Award-winning composer of Annie, Applause and the theme from The Price is Right returns to Theater Talk's Steinway grand, where he performs more of his well-known tunes, including "Easy Street," "NYC," and "Tomorrow" from the smash hit Annie.Photo Credit Peter James Zielinski
