The 92nd Street Y, New York announced the new Lyrics & Lyricists season and a slate of American Songbook concerts, part of the 2025-26 Tisch Music season.

This season of Lyrics & Lyricists, which celebrates popular music through stories and music with creators and artists, includes The Lovers, The Dreamers & Me: The Songs of Paul Williams from December 6-8. Oscar- and Grammy-winning songwriter Paul Williams, whose songs include “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “You and Me Against the World,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” and “An Old Fashioned Love Song,” shares stories in the show directed by two-time Tony Award winner Christian Borle (Something Rotten!), who also co-wrote the show with Williams and Skye Mattox.
