Goodspeed Musicals in unique in the regional theater world in that almost every production is freshly orchestrated specifically for their pit orchestras.

Nineteen years and 52 shows later we sign off on our last collaboration together at the Opera House. Michael is retiring after 28 years at Goodspeed, and I can't thank him enough for his mentorship, his friendship and his unending support. His trust in me helped turn my dream into a reality.
Thank you, Michael. Happy retirement. We can't wait to see (and hear) what you create next.
