Which ONE of these things would mean that you’ve “made it” in our biz?

1. You’re from the theater and you’re asked to work on The Academy Awards.
2. You win not one, but two Tonys.
3. Lady Gaga gives you a shout out during one of her concerts.

Just one of the above would probably make you think, “Ok, I’ve arrived.  I’m good. Check please.”  Am I right?

Well, what if all THREE of those things happened to you?

Because they did for Musical Director, Supervisor, Arranger, Orchestrator, Conductor and more, Stephen Oremus (Avenue Q, Book of Mormon, Frozen, etc.).

Stephen and I chatted about these three career peaks of his, as well as:

• The job of a Musical Director and what makes a good one.
• How working with Lada Gaga differs from working with Stephen Schwartz.
• What makes a “hit” song and how he knows when he’s working on one.
• His role in the creative process.
• The frustrating thing about long-running shows on Broadway.
