ABOUT MARCY & ZINA: Author Marcy Heisler and composer Zina Goldrich, collaborators since 1993, are the first women ever to be honored as recipients of the Fred Ebb Award for Musical Theatre Songwriting. They were nominated for 2009 Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Lyrics and Music for Dear Edwina and earned Lucille Lortel Award nominations for their Junie B. Jones: The Musical. Together and apart, Goldrich and Heisler have provided original songs for The Disney Channel, Disney Interactive and Feature Animation projects, Disney Theatricals, PBS, and Nickelodeon. As performers, they tour domestically and internationally, presenting their music at some of the finest venues, including Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. Kristin Chenoweth popularized their song, "Taylor, the Latte Boy," performing it on The Today Show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, and in concert at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Opera House, and the White House. Goldrich & Heisler "favorites" include "Fifteen Pounds," "Make Your Own Party," "Music of Your Life," "Out of Love," and from Dear Edwina, "Hola, Lola!" A number of new theatrical projects are in the works, including an adaptation of the tale of Snow White and Rose Red and a musical version of Freakin' Fabulous, based on the bestselling book by author and stylemaker Clinton Kelly of TLC's What Not To Wear.
