Paul Gemignani is one of the titans of the modern musical theatre industry. Serving as musical director for more than 40 Broadway productions since 1971, his collaborations with Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Kander, Fred Ebb, Hal Prince, Michael Bennett, and Alan Menken have led to countless accolades for his collaborators, but due to the near invisible position of the musical director in the Broadway industry, his story is often overlooked. Enter Margaret Hall, musical theatre historian and author of the new book GEMIGNANI: Life and Lessons from Broadway and Beyond, who will illuminate his fascinating life and his lasting impact on the Broadway world.
