Make Me a Song: The Music of William Finn is a celebration showcasing the songs of one of the most acclaimed composer-lyricists currently writing for the musical theatre. A two-time Tony Award winner for the groundbreaking musical, Falsettos, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, William Finn is a true living legend.

Featuring classics from his hit shows juxtaposed with rarely heard selections from Romance in Hard Times, Elegies and the yet-to-be-produced The Royal Family, these treasured tunes tell personal, haunting and often hilarious tales.
