| 520 | |a In Never Mind the Happy, musical dynamo Marc Shaiman looks back on five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him--spending his teenage years in community theater, starting a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the '70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the '80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the '90s, right up to the peaks (and valleys) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on. Candid, hilarious, and deeply human, Shaiman's story is a tribute to the power of music, the pull of the spotlight, and the beat that never stops. Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told with perfect comic timing--along with a few wrong notes, and plenty of standing ovations. | ||
| 520 | |a Never Mind the Happy is a memoir by composer and lyricist Marc Shaiman chronicling five decades in entertainment. He recounts his early experiences in community theater, his long-running collaboration with Bette Midler beginning in the 1970s, and his personal and professional challenges during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. The book covers his award-winning film career in 1990s Hollywood and his later work creating Broadway musicals in the 2000s and beyond. Through reflections on both achievements and setbacks, Shaiman examines the personal experiences and creative influences that have shaped his life and career. | ||
