Dormont native goes for the knockout with Broadway’s ‘Rocky’

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: When Stephen Flaherty first stepped into the ring with Sylvester Stallone, he was uncertain he’d be able to land any punches.
“We met at a hotel, and he’d brought his brother and the rest of his posse,” said Mr. Flaherty, a Tony Award-winning composer. It was 2006, and the Dormont native and his writing partner, lyricist Lynn Ahrens, were auditioning for the chance to write “Rocky,” the musical.
