The Drama League Presents A Q&A with Songwriting Team Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Like Gilbert & Sullivan, Rodgers & Hammerstein, and Lerner & Loewe before them, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul are two of modern musical theater’s most sought-after songwriting duos! Fans know the Richard Rodgers Award-winning team for their hit shows A Christmas Story and Dogfight on and off-Broadway. Pasek & Paul’s original songs are featured on Season 2 of NBC TV show “SMASH,” as part of the fictitious musical penned by Jeremy Jordan’s character.

On Thursday, May 9 at 7:00 PM, join The Drama League at the beautiful BMI Studios (7 World Trade Center) for a lively and intimate Q&A discussion! Pasek & Paul will talk about their writing process and meteoric rise, play a few songs, and take questions YOU submit to @dramaleague on Twitter. Come meet the next big thing… Broadway songwriting darlings Pasek & Paul!

After the event, join us at Lilly O’Brien’s Bar and Restaurant for an hour of drinks and casual conversation with Pasek & Paul! The Drama League and BMI staffers will be on hand to chat about the new Drama League Theater Center in Tribeca and the BMI Lehman Engle Musical Theatre Songwriting Workshop.
