William Finn
Composer and Lyricist of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Composer William Finn explains how he became involved in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and what drew him to the show’s quirky characters; charts the development of the “Marvin” trilogy, including March Of The Falsettos and Falsettoland, and talks about the differing approaches of James Lapine and Graciela Daniele to that material; tells the story of his own early-1990s medical crisis and how that became the basis for A New Brain; and recounts his extreme trepidation about the new revue of his songs, Make Me A Song, during its debut in Connecticut.
