New York - POP ROCKS THE THEATRE

POP ROCKS THE THEATRE with Desmond Child, Andres Levin, Nile Rodgers, Duncan Sheik, Suzanne Vega and Brian Yorkey

Contemporary Songwriters Take The Stage

With the dawn of rock and roll, contemporary popular songwriting and traditional musical theatre songwriting parted company, with only the occasional well-known pop/rock artist taking a crack at composing for the stage.  But in recent years, numerous world renowned artists have tried their hand at scoring an original musical.  What draws a popular songwriter to explore an unfamiliar, highly collaborative form?  What are the challenges and rewards they face in making the transition from crafting radio hits to crafting “showtunes”? New York Music Theatre Festival (NYMF) and The Recording Academy New York Chapter bring together a panel of well-known, contemporary tunesmiths to examine the desire of pop/rock writers to take on the challenge of the American musical.
