Description

Paul Gemignani's remarkable story is one of perseverance and innovation in the world of musical theater. As the mastermind behind some of Broadway's most iconic productions, his contributions often go unheralded due to the behind-the-scenes nature of his role as musical director. Born into a second-generation Italian American family during the Great Depression, Gemignani worked his way up from playing percussion in USO bands to conducting before renowned figures. His impact on shows like Sweeney Todd, Evita, and Into the Woods cannot be overstated, and his influence can still be felt today in the postmodern musical theater landscape. This book offers a unique glimpse into Gemignani's life and career, shedding light on the crucial role of the music director in bringing these beloved musicals to life.
