How to write an opening number for the Tony Awards:
1) Have Tom Kitt write a fiendishly simple and catchy melody.
2) Listen to this mp3 loop 100K times until you know what words to put to it.
3) Have Neil Patrick Harris give you 50 notes to make it funnier.
4) And you're done!

This is the patter section of the opening #. Tom Kitt provided the chords, that's my vocal percussion on the track, and Neil Patrick Harris just kept saying,"This needs to be fast, complicated and brilliant." This section alone took two weeks to write.

In 2014 I wrote a 15 minute musical for This American Life. This is my first rough pass as Everybody's Got a Cousin from that show.
