Composer Maury Yeston
Nine and
Titanic, as well as
Phantom of the Opera, has had a fantastic career in the theater.
As if to drive home that point, we have two recently released albums;
Maury Sings Yeston and
Anything Can Happen in the Theater: The Musical World of Maury Yeston (both on PS Classics). The title of the first says it all; it's a collection of demo recordings of Yeston performing songs from his canon. The second is the cast recording of the off-Broadway musical celebrating Yeston's theatrical accomplishments. Yeston was kind enough to answer a few questions about his work in early 2021.
