Exclusive Podcast: Go 'Behind the Curtain' with Broadway Composer, Arranger Glen Kelly
Woody Allen. Stephen Sondheim. Mel Brooks. Alan Menken. Eric Idle. These are only a few of the artists whom the wonderful Glen Kelly has had to give music, and sometimes lyrics, to in his career as one of Broadway's most respected dance arrangers and musical supervisors.
Perhaps best known for his work with on The Producers, Glen's work has been heard on some of Broadway's greatest hits including Mean Girls, Aladdin, Spamalot, The Drowsy Chaperone, The Book of Mormon, The Frogs, Bullets Over Broadway, and this season's very own The Prom!
Glen pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how he and Mel Brooks created one of the most iconic scores of the 21st Century, what exactly a dance arranger does, and why he loves a night at the opera!
Also, Glen shines the spotlight on Casey Nicholaw, Susan Stroman, and Woody Allen!
