What an incredible career he had. I first learned his name when he was the music director of the early seasons of Dancing with the Stars. Then I found out about his illustrious theatre career. Rest well, Maestro!

RIP Harold Wheeler

One of the all time greats, and even more impressive that he was a Black orchestrator and conductor when there are still so few in the Broadway scene.

He is currently credited with Additional Orchestrations on LA CAGE at City Center.

RIP Harold Wheeler

What an extraordinary, long, and varied career of accomplishments. In a short period he went from Promises, Promises, to the amazing orchestration and musical direction of the singular Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death. Condolences to the also magnificent Hattie Winston, the actor and his wife of many years.

#4

RIP Harold Wheeler

Wheeler's orchestrations for THE WIZ, DREAMGIRLS, and HAIRSPRAY are some of the best we've ever heard.

RIP Legend.
