MARC SHAIMAN (Music & Lyrics) very much

enjoyed composing the music and cowriting

the lyrics for Hairspraywith Scott Wittman. For

their score, the pair won the Tony, Grammy

and Olivier Awards. Their next Broadwayscore was for Martin Short: Fame Becomes

Me, for which they won absolutely nothing. As

a composer and arranger, Marc's film creditsdate back to the silents and include "When

Harry Met Sally:' "Beaches," "Misery," "City

Slickers," "The Addams Family," "A Few Good

Men," "Sister Act:' "Sleepless in Seattle:' "TheFirst Wives Club:' "Patch Adams:' "The Ameri­

can President," "George of the Jungle," "South

for an Oscar and lost every time. As her music

director and co-producer, Marc brought his long

time partner Bette Midler the Grammy win­

ning songs "The Wind Beneath My Wings" and"From A Distance," but it is their collaboration

but was not chosen to play himself on her

sitcom. Besides the Carson moment, having

recently co-written and appeared with both Na­

than Lane and Billy Crystal for their respective

musical bon voyages to Conan O'Brien and Jay

Leno on both of their penultimate shows, Marc

recently became a figure of trivia, a one man

walking Jeopardy question and most certainly

the kiss of death to any talk show host who

sees him approaching with a musical tribute

under his arm. Marc was Emmy nominated for

writing on "Saturday Night Live" (the Sweeney

Sisters) and an actual Emmy Award winner

for co-writing Billy Crystal's medleys for The

Academy Awards. His arrangements for Harry

Connick Jr. were Grammy-nominated, as was

the Hairspraysoundtrack, and he has worked

with many other artists, including Will Ferrell.

Jack Black, Eric Clapton, Kristen Chenoweth,

Jennifer Holiday, Jenifer Lewis, Patti LuPone,

John Mayer, Barbra Streisand, Rob Thomas,

Raquel Welch and, well, basically everyonein show biz. Marc's Internet sensation, the

"Webbie"-winning PROP B: The Musical, had

been viewed over 4 million times (at funnieor­

die.com) on, ironically, January 3, 2009, which

was his and Scott Wittman's 30th Anniversary

as a couple.

Fame Becomes Me on Broadway and on tour.
