Tony and Grammy-winning Composer, Lyrist, Book Writer David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Tootsie, The Full Monty, Women on the Verge, etc.) returns to the Jacob Burns Film Center for a very special night to share behind-the-curtain stories about his career, including his award-winning musical and New York Times Critics Pick Dead Outlaw and lots more! David will perform numbers from the show and share footage from his upcoming documentary on the making of the show.
About DEAD OUTLAW:
He was wanted by the law, killed by a posse… and then his career really took off! Based on the “That can’t actually be true” story of bumbling bandit Elmer McCurdy and winner of three Best Musical Awards (Drama Desk, Outer Critics, NY Drama Critics’ Circle), this rollicking, darkly hilarious, and thoroughly original musical will know you dead!” (Time Out).
