Initially I was hired to be the rehearsal pianist/music director for this 2008 production of THE IMAGINARY INVALID.  Early in the rehearsal process the sound designer/composer asked me if I would take over as composer for the show.  The plan was for me to write some incidental music and some songs that would be compatible with the original score by Marc-Antoine Charpentier.  Some of Charpentier’s music would remain in the show. In addition to writing the requested music, I music directed a cast including the wonderful René Auberjonios and worked directly with renowned choreographer Gillian Lynne and the esteemed director Keith Baxter.
