"Rosenblum is a seriously trained and skilled composer who refuses to take himself seriously — a musical humorist, perhaps.
He works like a watchmaker, fitting neat details into a tissue of busily interacting parts. Moments of over-arching lyricism are few; instead, a brief phrase will unexpectedly reveal how nicely he has turned it."
– John W. Freeman, Opera News

How many families can boast four songwriters with a combined twelve original musicals? Broadway conductor Joshua Rosenblum (Into the Woods, How the Grinch Stole Christmas) and performer Joanne Lessner (Cyrano – The Musical) are joined by their children, comedy writer and composer Julian Rosenblum and singer/songwriter Phoebe Zara, for an evening of all original songs.
With special guests: Ellis Gage, Amy Hughlett, Sabrina Karlin
"The best biography of a theatrical creative team that I have ever read. The author, Joshua Rosenblum, imparts his knowledge and his acumen to analyze and illuminate the works of David Shire and Richard Maltby: two lifelong friends who have formed a magical creative partnership."
-- Thomas Z. Shepard, Twelve-time Grammy Award-winning Producer

"Much of Rosenblum's musical vocabulary comes from, or crosses over into, the popular vernacular, with catchy syncopations and lanky, swinging rhythms, but a sign should be posted saying "Watch Out: Keen Intelligence at Work." –John W. Freeman, on Sundry Notes
