Composer and Lyricist Home pages

The Stephen Sondheim Stage

This page is being constructed by Mark Bakalor, a contributor to the Sondheim majordomo list, and a team of volunteers. Many new features are being added all the time, and all are worthwhile and interesting. Not to be missed!

The Quotable Stephen Sondheim Page

Here's a fun page offering a "quote of the day" from the lyrics of guess who. A cute idea!

Howard Ashman

Here is a biographical page, taken from the Disney site.

Irving Berlin

The official website of the Irving Berlin Music Company, this site also has biographical information about the composer and information about his shows and songs. Essentially an offshoot of the Rodgers and Hammerstein site, since Williamson Music controls the catalog.

Leonard Bernstein

A very classy site, sponsored by Classical Insites. Because of it's classical music pedigree, this site almost exclusively emphasizes that aspect of Bernstein's career, so not too much is available here about his musical theatre projects. You will , however, still find such things as the biographical timeline, and perhaps the videography and partial discography quite useful. A CD is being offered for sale exclusively through the website, and they have specials on other material when you mention the WWW. Be sure to check out the Help page for a (very helpful indeed) FAQ and a form to join a mailing list to inform you about online events.

Marc Blitzstein

Big Blizstein site!

George Gershwin Home Page

The next link has information about both Gershwins, but this one is just George.

Here's a George Gershwin page in Spanish.

The Gilbert and Sullivan Archive

Okay, I'll branch out to operetta. This is a fabulous site, with almost everything youcould want to know about G & S. I'm a sucker for clear and logical organization, too.

Lorenz Hart

Here you can find a list of songs Hart wrote for several shows. There are also a few selected lyrics and quotes, to make this site even more interesting. A filmography is also included.

Rupert Holmes

Some good information on The Mystery of Edwin Drood, including a selection of images from Broadway, London and touring casts (the page's author worked closely with Holmes on this show). This page covers Holmes' popular recording career as well as his theatrical writing. For biographical information, be sure to follow the "Remember WENN" link.

Jones & Schmidt

A wonderful overview of the musical careers of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. This site includes historical information and full synopses for many of the team's shows (with more to come, I'm sure). There is also a discography, and even a page of selected lyrics (a representation from each show)! A great resource, sure to get even better!

Andrew Lloyd Webber

A VERY complete list of ALW's songs, a thorough discography, and the infamous "Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bottom Drawer," with a run-down of all the composer's re-used trunk songs.

Andrew Lloyd Webber Online

Which lists several alternate sites to the composers various musicals, and features a "barter page" where fans can trade merchandise, etc.

The official site

Amanda McBroom

A page for the composer of Heartbeats.

Alan Menken

A biography, a discography, and lot of links.

Johnny Mercer

Mercer wrote the songs for such shows as Li'l Abner, St. Louis Woman and Top Banana, as well as lots of pop music.

Cole Wide Web: The Cole Porter Shrine

The Musicography section of this site alone makes this one of the best composer resources on the WWW! The layout is in tables, so make sure your browser supports this before you try it. The CD section is disappointingly scanty, but hopefully, that will improve with time.

The Cole Porter Reference Guide is another worthy site.

Tim Rice

A fine and informative page about this important lyricist. The page's author (creator of the Elaine Paige homepage, as well) has included a wealth of good information, and plenty of interesting bibliography to assist those longing to find more. An excellent site.

Rodgers and Hammerstein

The official site.

Bernard J. Taylor

There is much information here about Taylor, the composer of such musicals as Pride and Prejudice and Nosferatu. Interviews, essays and reviews of his work, as well as a number of sound clips, make this an entertaining and informative site. There is an extensive section about Claire Moore, as well. Highly recommended for Taylor's fans.

Kurt Weill

An official site put up by the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music.

Frank Wildhorn

The Official website for this composer/lyricist.

P. G. Wodehouse

This page is a list of Wodehouse's musicals, with a few related details. The link at the bottom will take you to the alt.fan.wodehouse FAQ.
