Synopsis
Elaine's special guest is the multi-award winning composer Marvin Hamlisch. It's been said his music changed the face of Broadway and Hollywood; so much so that the New York Times called him, "a genius". He and Richard Rodgers are the only two individuals to have been awarded an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony, and a Pulitzer Prize. He's also the man who introduced Elaine Paige to America and accompanied her at The White House.
Today, Marvin recalls writing A Chorus Line, The Way We Were and Nobody Does It Better. Plus, he reveals his Essential Musicals which include Gypsy, The Music Man and Sunday In the Park With George.
Broadway's Marvin Stops By!
He wrote the music for A Chorus Line, They're Playing Our Song and The Goodbye Girl. And he composed the scores for The Way We Were, The Spy Who Loved Me and many more. EP chats to Marvin Hamlisch about his life, work and what's next for the multi-award winning composer
