Sheldon Harnick and Regretting Almost Everything
People often wonder whether there are particular musical theatre writers who have influenced my work. For me, the lyricist who has most influenced my work is Sheldon Harnick.
You don’t need to say much
When we first did Regretting Almost Everything at Mr. Finn’s Cabaret at Barrington Stage in August of 2017, there was no libretto, and it fell on me to act as host and narrator.
The Song Danny Refuses to Set
In the libretto for the musical — as distinguished from the album — Blind Date is the first song and Do It All Again is the last song. We made Blind Date a bonus track on the album because we thought it would be confusing to open with it on the album.
Yes, there’s a libretto!
Yesterday, Danny and I sat quietly in a corner while Beth and Jeff talked with Seth Rudetsky about the album. Afterwards, Beth and Jeff asked us if there was a libretto.
