Orinsaxophone - Eek!

Today, May 17th, would be Howard Ashman's 75th birthday. If you aren't already aware, Howard Ashman worked with Alan Menken to create the wonderful musical Little Shop of Horrors, which has had an undeniable affect on myself and my life. Ashman would go on to work with Menken on multiple Disney films; The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and he even did a lot of early work for Aladdin. He sadly passed away in 1991, during the production of Beauty and the Beast.

Howard Ashman was primarily a lyricist, but he was also a very talented and passionate storyteller. He had such a strong grasp on what made a compelling musical, and in all of his work you can feel an earnest passion for what was created, I think. I personally have a lot of love for the stories him and Alan Menken have brought into the world.

I'd like to conclude my post with words posted today by Alan Menken himself:

Howard Ashman would have turned 75 today. And I'll always ponder what we might have shared and the new works we might have created together in those 35 extra years. Still I somehow know, deep in my heart, that his spirit has been an integral part of everything I've accomplished since his passing. Happy Birthday, Howard!

Orin Scrivello: Comfy?

Arthur Denton : l remember the first time l went to a dentist. l thought, “Gosh, what a neat job! lf only l were a dentist.” The dentist l went to had the greatest car. He had a Corvette. I thought, “My gosh, everybody calls him ‘Doctor’ and he’s not really a doctor. Oh, my God! If only l got out of here okay.” Then, you know, after it was all finished, they gave me a candy bar. l thought, “Well, this is what I get? A candy bar?” This is what you do, you go through a little thing and you get *chocolate* out of it

happy pride month
