What are your thoughts on him?
I like his music very much. I saw Titanic being performed last summer at my camp. This year they're doing Grand Hotel and I have the cast recording to Nine. My favorite of all of those is Nine. I don't understand why he isn't more famous or acclaimed. His musicals are certainly better than those of Frank Wildhorn or Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 4:41pmI've only ever heard one of his complete scores, and that's "Nine". I love it though. It's one of my favorite musical theatre scores.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Maury Yeston is a genious. I much prefer his "Phantom" to ALW's.
It was so much deeper.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 4:52pmI must agree, Yeston's music is underrated and amazing. Our local theater company is doing his version of "Phantom" as our spring production. Auditions are next week, and i'm completely stoked!
Brush up your Shakespeare, and they'll all kow-tow!

"I can't learn this song so quickly
Maury must be dreaming
Look at all these lyrics..."
I love Nine, Titanic and Phantom.
