With the Tony Nominations not including a single nomination for a musical theatre composer in the best score category (for obvious reasons), who are some of your favorite contemporary MT composers? (From the Pasek & Paul generation and beyond).

Yes, sorry, that's my cycle. It's been...rough, and my cyclemates are the people who have given me a reason to continue, both in their support for each other and in their incredible talent. They're all incredible people creating the equal of much of what is/was on Broadway, at least in my opinion, and I just want the world for them. They are my favorite composers working today, even if they don't realize it. (Sorry if this was not the place to drop all of this.)

César Alvarez already has an active and fruitful career, but they haven't garnered as much widespread attention in the theatre community as I think they deserve for their brilliant work.

Michael R Jackson
Nick Blaemire
Michael Friedman (Rest In Peace.)
Drew Gasparini
Anais Mitchell
Sam Salmond (honestly haven't seen/listened to a ton of his work but "I'm cool" and his Jonathan Larson Grant performance are constantly stuck in my head)

Highly recommend Salmond’s demos on “Eighty-Sixed”
