Nell Benjamin

It was called Huzzah, the one about Renaissance fairs, which was at the Old Globe.

And I have to hawk that one because that's been a lifelong labor of love with my other labor of love, Nell Benjamin.

who unfortunately is way better at writing musicals than me.

So I try always to work with her.

If you've been to a Ren Faire and loved it, you'll like our show.

If you've been to a Ren Faire and hated it, I bet you'll like our show.

Nell Benjamin and I have written a bunch of shows, including Legally Blonde and Sarah Plain and Tall, Cam Jansen and The Curse of the Emerald Elephant.

But this has been our life's work.

when it's meant to be, it just is, no matter what happens.

And all of that, all of that, the table read that I got that then made all of the rest of it possible for me came because I knew Nell Benjamin from Legally Blonde.

And I had done work for her and for she and Larry on shows that they were developing in their studio and done demo work for them.

And she was the one who said, you know who you should have read Karen is Kate Rockwell.

Wait, really? Yeah, I believe so.

It's like Nell Benjamin and Jeff Richmond.

Well, Jeff Richmond's seen A Face Husband, right? Yeah.

Oh, Nell Benjamin did the lyrics for Legally Blonde.

Oh, you know,

and then it was, was it Lawrence O'Keefe? Lawrence O'Keefe.
