FREE SHOW! Pasek and Paul Make West Coast Debut Aug. 6 w/ guest Shoshana Bean

Songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul make their West Coast debut Aug. 6 at the Falcon Theatre.

The songwriting team will perform an evening of their original tunes, which fuse comedy, theatre and pop music. Backed by a full band, the 7:30 PM concert will also boast special guests Shoshana Bean (Wicked), Danny Calvert (Altar Boyz) and Chelsea Krombach (Wicked).

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are up-and-coming musical theatre writers. Their best-known work, Edges, has been presented in Washington, Philadelphia and New York City. Another evening of their songs, titled Uncharted: Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, was seen at the Ars Nova. The University of Michigan graduates also write for Disney Channel's "Johnny and the Sprites," and they are the all-time youngest recipients of the Jonathan Larson Award.

The Falcon Theatre is located in Burbank, CA, at 4252 Riverside Drive. Those wishing to attend the concert are simply asked to show up at the door.

Awwww, if they are as talented as you say, can't we keep them for a while?

I'll let you know how it goes :)

They were completely unprepared for the amount of people that showed up. They had to turn away about 35 of us from getting a seat (it's not a big house to start off with) but set up the monitor and speakers in the lobby for those that wanted to stay and see it that way.

We stayed to hear the first three songs and then went out for dinner. I enjoyed what I heard but just didn't feel like standing and staring at a fuzzy monitor for an hour.

I would say that the situation sucked but actually it's great that so many people were interested!
