- Jun 30, 2010
A big thank you to the folks at New Line Theatre for bringing this entry from Jason Robert Brown's blog to my attention. It seems the Tony-winning composer/lyricist was involved in a lengthy email exchange with a young fan who didn't understand why it was wrong for her to be offering free Internet sheet music downloads of his songs. If you've seen Sherie Rene Scott's Everyday Rapture, prepare for some déjà vu.

In salute of Broadway now - and as it was fifty years ago when the first of these scores premiered - we take stock of what we have got, for better or worse. Surely, the strength of these shows' scores speak and sing out loud for themselves: 42nd Street, 1776, HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, MAME and CITY OF ANGELS.
