With Guettel's work being produced again, let's take a closer look at his four musicals to date.
the Tony Award for Best Score for “The Light in the Piazza,” a sweeping musical romance that is being revived this week in an Encores! production at City Center. Upon winning the Tony Award, Guettel said that he was working on a musical adaptation of “The Princess Bride,” and it was believed, or at least hoped, that Guettel would go on to become a major Broadway songwriter.
Unfortunately, “The Princess Bride” never materialized , and a new musical by Guettel did not materialize until just now, 18 years after “Piazza,” with the Atlantic Theater Company’s current production of “Days of Wine and Roses.” With Guettel’s work being produced again, let’s take a closer look at his four musicals to date, all of which display his considerable intelligence and abilities as a composer and lyricist writing in a non-pop, complex style influenced by Stephen Sondheim and classical music.: Considered by many to be a masterpiece, “Floyd Collins” is based on the real-life story of a Kentucky cave explorer who died in 1925 after getting trapped underground.
