Stephen Schwartz Details Next Project: A New Musical About Mozart's Librettist

Playbill.com:

Days after being named winner of the 2015 Isabelle Stevenson Award from the Tony Awards, composer Stephen Schwartz headed off to London to work on his new stage musical, Emanuel and Eleonore.

"It's the German spelling," explained the composer of Wicked, Godspell and Pippin, among many other shows and movies. And that's appropriate because the show tells the story of Mozart's frequent collaborator, Emanuel Schikaneder, librettist for The Magic Flute and other operas, and is scheduled to premiere in Vienna, Austria, in fall 2016.
