Together as a team, Daniel and Patrick have written seven musicals and several hundred songs. A new take on the troubadour tradition, once a month they take the stage Underground at the Cornelia Street Café (29 Cornelia Street) to present Lazour Light Show, an evening of songs and stories, featuring excerpts from their shows, stand-alone pieces, and new works in development, with the possibility of special guests aiding them in song.

Daniel and Patrick Lazour have workshopped their piece We Live in Cairo, about the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, at the O'Neill National Music Theater Conference and at New York Theatre Workshop under the 2016 Richard Rodgers Award. This May, We Live in Cairo will be produced at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA as part of their 2018/2019 season directed by Taibi Magar. They have developed their work together during residencies at the O'Neill, SPACE on Ryder Farm and the MacDowell Colony. Their new musical, Bethesda, about the first chemotherapy trials in the 1950s and 60s, was workshopped at the Johnny Mercer Writers Colony at Goodspeed Theatre and Rhinebeck Writers Retreat. Patrick and Daniel were 2015-16 Dramatists Guild Fellows and are New York Theatre Workshop Usual Suspects. Most recently, they were artists-in-residence at the American University in Cairo.
