Sharing insights on his rapturous scores for the period-set classic literature adaptations of JANE EYRE, SENSE & SENSIBILITY and EMMA, Gordon also offers thoughts on his brand new musical ANALOG & VINYL, planned for an Off-Broadway run next year, and also previews his forthcoming Off-Broadway musical adaptation of DADDY LONG LEGS, set to be directed by his JANE EYRE collaborator John Caird and winner of the 2010 Ovation Award for Best Score, beginning performances in September. Also, don't miss THE MUSIC OF PAUL GORDON at 54 Below tonight.
