Stuart Ross will direct the production with musical direction by David Snyder. Composer Grossman will be featured at the piano.
Composer Yourself! features the music of Grossman and the lyrics of Hal Hackady, Ellen Fitzhugh, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Buz Kohan, Carol Hall, Fred Ebb, Amanda Green, Drey Shepperd and Michael Korie.
