Stephen Schwartz was born in New York City on March 6, 1948. He studied piano and composition at the Juilliard School of Music while in high school and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1968 with a B.F.A. in Drama. Upon coming back to live in New York City, he went to work as a producer for RCA Records, but shortly thereafter began to work in the Broadway theatre. His first major credit was the title song for the play BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE; the song was eventually used in the movie version, as well.
In 1971, he wrote the music and new lyrics for GODSPELL, for which he won several awards, including two Grammys. This was followed by the English texts in collaboration with Leonard Bernstein for Bernstein’s MASS, which opened the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The following year, he wrote the music and lyrics for PIPPIN, and two years later, THE MAGIC SHOW. At one point, GODSPELL, PIPPIN and THE MAGIC SHOW were all running on Broadway simultaneously.
He next wrote the music and lyrics for THE BAKER’S WIFE, followed by a musical version of Studs Terkel’s WORKING, to which he contributed four songs and which he also adapted and directed, winning the Drama Desk Award as best director. He also co-directed the television production, which was presented as part of the PBS “American Playhouse” series. Next came songs for a one-act musical for children, CAPTAIN LOUIE, and a children’s book, THE PERFECT PEACH. He then wrote music for three of the songs in the Off-Broadway revue, PERSONALS, lyrics to Charles Strouse’s music for RAGS, and music and lyrics for CHILDREN OF EDEN.
He then began working in film, collaborating with composer Alan Menken on the scores for the Disney animated features POCAHONTAS, for which he received two Academy Awards and another Grammy, and THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. He also provided songs for DreamWorks’ first animated feature, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, for which he won another Academy Award for the song “When You Believe.” He collaborated again with Alan Menken on the songs for Disney’s ENCHANTED.
Mr. Schwartz provided music and lyrics for the original television musical, GEPPETTO, subsequently adapted for the stage as MY SON PINOCCHIO. He has released two CDs on which he sings new songs, RELUCTANT PILGRIM and UNCHARTED TERRITORY.
Mr. Schwartz’s Broadway musical, WICKED, opened in the fall of 2003 and is currently running on Broadway and in several other productions around the United States and the world. In 2008, WICKED reached its 1900th performance on Broadway, making Mr. Schwartz the only songwriter in Broadway history ever to have three shows run more than 1900 performances.
His first opera, SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON, premiered at Opera Santa Barbara in the fall of 2009 and was recently produced by New York City Opera.
Mr. Schwartz has also written for the musical theatre internationally, including songs for MIT EVENTYR, a musical about Hans Christian Andersen, which premiered in Copenhagen in 2005, and his most recent musical, SCHIKANEDER, about the librettist of The Magic Flute, premiered in Vienna in 2016.
Mr. Schwartz has recently been given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A book about his career, “Defying Gravity,” has been released by Applause Books.
Under the auspices of the ASCAP Foundation, he runs musical theatre workshops in New York and Los Angeles and serves on the ASCAP board; he is also a member of the Council of the Dramatists’ Guild.

Goodbye NAMM 2017
Jason left early this morning and I basically stayed up the entire time. It is the final day of NAMM 2017 and you can tell. It was raining again today when I arrived. Then it seemed to be raining all day. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do today because I had pretty much seen it all. I thought I would try to catch up with Bill LoNero, meet this Jonathan Byrnside, talk to Mike Martin again, and see if there were any cool performances to catch. Well, Bill went home after yesterday and Jonathan was in meetings but would let me know. I did get a chance to talk to Mike Martin.
I revisited ESP, Fender, Charvel/Jackson/EVH/Gretch, Chapman, and The Boutique Amp company (Wampler, Bogner, Egnator, Friedman, etc.). I asked more questions and played more guitars today. I saw fewer celebrities but I did see some: Nicko McBrain, Josh Freese, Rudy Sarzo (again), Albert Lee, Keith Merrow, Jeff Loomis, Ola Englund, Nick Johnston. But I also saw Glenn Fricker, Brian Wampler, Rabea Massaad and Matt Hornby, and other YouTube people. I back tracked and visited places multiple times. I did the cris-cross combing of the entire building but gave up near the drum area. I watched Rabea perform at the Two Notes Audio/REVV booth and then at the Champan Guitars/Victory Amps booth.
It rained like crazy all day long! When I went out to wait for the shuttle it was a little before 4pm. The shuttle finally showed up a little after 4pm and it was a Disney shuttle coming back empty that the driver thought he would swing by NAMM since he knew the other driver was stuck in traffic. It turned out I was the only one on the bus back to the hotel!
After four days of walking the Anaheim Convention Center my feet, knees, and hips are killing me!
The rain let up and I ended up walking to the Mexican place close to the outlet mall. They had great happy hour pricing going on. After dinner I went back to the hotel and sat at the bar. The last thing I remember is ordering a bottle of wine and getting through most of it. There was some wine snob next to me and he got a bottle. Since I was half way in the bag I got one too! I'm not sure how I got back to my room again or why I woke up without pants or underwear on...

Laurence Joseph "Larry" Mullen Jr. (born 31 October 1961) is an Irish musician and actor, best known as the drummer of the Irish rock band U2. A member of the band since its inception, he has recorded 13 studio albums with U2. Mullen was born and raised in Dublin, and attended Mount Temple Comprehensive School, where, in 1976, he co-founded U2 after posting a message on the school's notice board. His drumming style developed from his playing martial beats in a childhood marching band, the Artane Boys Band. Some of his most famous contributions to the U2 catalog include "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Pride (In the Name of Love)", "Where the Streets Have No Name", "Zoo Station," "Mysterious Ways", and "City of Blinding Lights".
Mullen has worked on numerous side projects during his career, including a collaboration with Michael Stipe and Mike Mills of R.E.M. to form Automatic Baby in 1993 and working with bandmate Adam Clayton on the re-recording of the "Theme from Mission: Impossible" in 1996. Through his work with U2, Mullen has received 22 Grammy Awards. In 2016, Rolling Stone ranked Mullen the 96th-greatest drummer of all time.
As a member of the band, he has been involved in philanthropic causes throughout his career, including Amnesty International. He has sporadically acted in films, most notably in Man on the Train (2011) and A Thousand Times Good Night (2013). 1/20/17
