The Kennedy Center recently held an evening celebrating Broadway's current crop of songwriters- Ahrens and Flaherty, Stephen Schwartz, Jeanine Tesori and my favorite team of the bunch, the wildly talented team of Frankel and Korie. KT Sullivan peformed "Will You?" beautifully, but what was most exciting was to hear two new songs by the talented duo, one from their upcoming Finding Neverland musical and another from the upcoming LTC production, Happiness. The Happiness song entitled "The Best Seats in the Ballpark" makes me very excited to see the show and very sad because I have to wait till April since it was the only time I could get tickets. Anyway, I digress. The link to the performance is included in the post, fast forward towards the end.
My question is, how can I contact either of these talented gentlemen. Ever since Grey Gardens, I've been meaning to write a fan letter and now seems the right time.

Posted: 2/5/09 at 7:54pmI find their work a lot more interesting than Stephen Schwartz's.

Posted: 2/5/09 at 7:56pmMe too, but no where near Tesori's work in Caroline or Change or what Ahrens and Flaherty have done with Ragtime.

WBAF- I'd feel awfully strange friend requesting a complete stranger and a rather famous person, but yes one of them does have a Facebook. Thank you for that advice though. I'd much rather write a letter if anyone knows how I could.
And KChenowethfan- I loved Ragtime, it's a fabulous score, and admired vast portions of Caroline, but Grey Gardens was the real deal for me.
