Award-winning composer and co-lyricist Marc Shaiman (Hairspray, Sister Act, Smash and many others) joins fellow Tony Award winner Nathan Lane for a look behind the curtain of life on Broadway, in Hollywood and on Television, with a conversation about Shaiman’s new memoir, Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories from a Sore Winner.
Emerging from community theater in his teens, sparking a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the ’70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the ’80s and bursting into Hollywood and Broadway glory, Marc Shaiman has spent 50 years making some of the most beloved musicals and film scores of our era. Hilarious and deeply human, Shaiman’s story is a tribute to the power of music and the pull of the spotlight.
Join him with his longtime pal Nathan Lane — a decades-long musical friendship — for a candid, uproariously fun evening of backstage stories from a shared life in show business, on and offstage.
This conversations was recorded Jan 30, 2026 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.© 2026 The Young Men’s and Young Women’s Hebrew Association
