The show features David Zippel, the Tony award-winning, Oscar-nominated lyricist of City of Angels and Disney's animated Hercules and Mulan presenting highlights from his own scores, along with inspirations and personal favorites from the American Songbook. The cast, Kate Baldwin, Kevin Earley, Debbie Gravitte, Danny Gurwin and Lillias White, are veterans of such Broadway hits as The Full Monty, Les Misérables, Chicago, Urinetown, Dreamgirls and Thoroughly Modern Millie.

This show is the first time in over 25 years that L&L - the Y's long-running American Songbook series - will devote an entire show to a contemporary Broadway songwriter at the height of his career - a return to the spirit in which L&L was founded, with the living lyricist as an active participant.

One of the most acclaimed and sought-after lyricists working today, David Zippel's other credits include the Broadway musical The Goodbye Girl (written with Marvin Hamlisch and Neil Simon), The Woman in White (with Andrew Lloyd Webber, for which Zippel won another Tony nomination) and the musical stage version of Wendy Wasserstein's bestselling children's book, Pamela's First Musical, written with Wasserstein and City of Angels collaborator Cy Coleman.

The American Songbook series LYRICS & LYRICISTS^TM was launched in 1970 when longtime Broadway conductor Maurice Levine and lyricist E.Y. "Yip" Harburg (The Wizard of Oz) had the series' first conversation about songwriting. The series has featured virtually every great Broadway and Hollywood lyricist over its three decades. In 2004, the 92nd Street Y reinvented the show yet again when it asked accomplished champions of the repertoire - John Pizzarelli, Andrea Marcovicci, Rob Fisher, Sheldon Harnick, and more - to present original programs in the Lyrics & Lyricists tradition: a combination of information and entertainment with a particular focus on lyrics.

Founded in 1874 by a group of visionary Jewish leaders, the 92nd STREET Y has grown into a wide-ranging cultural, educational and community center serving people of all ages, races, faiths and backgrounds - about 300,000 people each year. For more information, please visit www.92Y.org.
