Despite coming from a family of music educators, he was entirely self-taught as a pianist. He spent nearly 20 years composing in Hollywood, but his work on Broadway stands out as his monumental achievement. He had five shows produced on Broadway and four of them were huge hits. Not even Richard Rogers had a better batting average. located at the JCC of Mid-Westchester, 999 Wilmot Road, Scarsdale. (914) 472-3300 ext. 403. 25. Bendheim Performing Arts Center - [events]
