As part of our Signature Series, The Bristal at York Avenue invited author Margaret Hall to discuss her book GEMIGNANI: Life and Lessons from Broadway and Beyond.
Paul Gemignani, a giant in modern musical theater, has served as the musical director for over 40 Broadway productions since 1971. Despite his critical role in collaborations with legends like Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber, his story is often overlooked. GEMIGNANI shines a light on his contributions, revealing the essential role of a music director in bringing iconic Broadway musicals back to life.
Hall, an NYU Professor, theater historian, and writer for Playbill, makes theater more accessible for her students, and brought Paul Gemignani's story to life for our York Avenue residents.
