Composer David Shire and lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr. are known for their musical revues Starting Here, Starting Now, and Closer Than Ever, as well as for a wide range of work created both collaboratively and independently. As their long creative partnership continues, they will soon present About Time, the third installment in what they have described as “the trilogy we didn’t know we were writing.” The new revue, developed over several years, will begin performances Off-Broadway on February 27 and explores themes of reflection, humor, and the later stages of life.
In this educational seminar, Maltby and Shire will discuss the development of About Time, reflect on their decades-long collaboration, and share insights into their creative process. They will be joined in conversation by composer and conductor Joshua Rosenblum, author of Closer Than Ever: The Unique Six-Decade Songwriting Partnership of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire.
