麻豆约拍

In a series first broadcast in 2002, David Jacobs tells the story of multi award-winning American composer and conductor Marvin Hamlisch who died in August.
In a distinguished career spanning almost 50 years, Hamlisch made musical history, scoring more than 40 movies (among other musical feats) and earning Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, Grammys and a Tony. He also received a Pulitzer Prize for the Broadway musical A Chorus Line.
In this week's programme, Marvin Hamlisch explains how he coped with failure on Broadway and in London's West End with the musicals Smile and Jean Seberg. He also explains why the impact of AIDS on the Broadway community adversely affected his own career.
With contributors: directors, Nicholas Hytner and Sir Peter Hall, lyricists, Marilyn Bergman and Carole Bayer Sager, critic Howard Kissel and actresses Donna McKechnie and Tia Riebling.
Written and produced by Malcolm Prince.
