Songs
from one of America's greatest living songwriters in a sophisticated,
funny and heartfelt theatrical revue – a thrilling and sometimes
painful journey into the human heart, the songs of David Friedman brilliantly
capture the human spirit in all its forms.
David fully supports the show and the production team is aiming, through
the Brighton Festival, to take one step closer to a London run which David
will be joining as Musical Director.
David Friedman's previous work includes conducting and arranging music for
Disney classics Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, Pocahontas and The
Hunchback of Notre Dame. This led to David's writing music and lyrics for Disney's,
Aladdin and the King of Thieves and to scoring three animated television
series and the film Trick.
As a record producer, David started his own company, Midder Music Records,
and wrote for and produced all of the late, great Nancy LaMott's CD's.
David's
songs have also been performed and recorded by luminaries such as Diana Ross
(Your Love - Quadruple Platinum), Barry Manilow, (We Live on
Borrowed Time and You're There) Petula Clark, Laura Branigan, Jason Alexander, Laurie Beechman,
Lainie Kazan, Leslie Uggams, Kristen Chenoweth, Heather Headley, Kathie Lee
Gifford and many others.

smash.
