Frank Wildhorn is a renowned composer of not just some of the most beloved and iconic musical theatre shows to ever hit the stage, but also of chart-topping hits for artists like Kenny Rogers, Hootie &amp; the Blowfish, and Whitney Houston. You will surely know shows like&nbsp;<em>Jeckyl &amp; Hyde</em>,&nbsp;<em>The Scarlet Pimpernel</em>,&nbsp;<em>Bonnie &amp; Clyde&nbsp;</em>– which is about to go out on a UK tour, and the incredibly successful recent West End concerts for&nbsp;<em>Death Note</em>. Now he has a brand-new adaptation of the manga&nbsp;<em>Your Lie in April</em>, which is about to play three concerts at Theatre Royal Drury Lane on April 8th&nbsp;and 9th. In this episode, we discuss his shows, his approach to composition, and some of the musicals that have inspired him.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>For <em>Your Lie in April </em>tickets, visit: <a href=\"https://lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/your-lie-in-april/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/your-lie-in-april/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Frank on <a href=\"https://twitter.com/FrankWildhorn\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">twitter</a> and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/frank.wildhorn/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">instagram</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Produced by Ian Bowkett (twitter: <a href=\"https://twitter.com/ianbowkett\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@ianbowkett</a>) in association with <a href=\"https://musicaltheatrereview.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://musicaltheatrereview.com</a> (twitter: <a href=\"https://twitter.com/MusicalTheatreR\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@musicaltheatrer</a>)</p><p><br></p><p>Follow the podcast:</p><p><br></p><p>Twitter: <a href=\"https://twitter.com/MusicalMayorPod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@MusicalMayorPod</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/musicalmayorpod/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@MusicalMayorPod</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@musicalmayorpod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@MusicalMayorPod</a></p><p><br></p><p>Hosted on Acast.
