Hello, my dad, Charles H. Coleman, was a conductor, arranger and musical director for various Broadway and off-Broadway shows in the '70's and '80's:

THE WIZ [Revival, Musical, All Black Cast, Comedy] May 24 to June 3, 1984
BLUES IN THE NIGHT [Original, Musical, Revue] June 2 to July 18, 1982
HAPPY NEW YEAR [Original, Musical] April 27 to May 10, 1980
TIMBUKTU! [Original, Musical] Mar. 1 to Sept. 10, 1978
THE WIZ (Original Musical All Black Cast, Comedy) Jan. 5, 1975 to Jan. 28, 1979
NO, NO NANETTE [Revival, Musical, Comedy] Jan. 19, 1971 to Feb. 3, 1973

I am looking for other people who worked in these productions, and may have some personal anecdotes about my father to share with me. I was living in Canada during those times, and never got to see him work on these shows. Just want to hear some stories about him and his work. Thanks!
