More on Frank Wildhorn
Description from Wikipedia:
Frank Wildhorn (born 1959) is an American composer.
In 1999, Wildhorn became the first American composer in twenty two years to have three shows running simultaneously on Broadway: Jekyll & Hyde at the Plymouth Theatre, The Scarlet Pimpernel at the Minskoff, and The Civil War at the St. James Theatre.
Despite having three of his musicals running simultaneously on Broadway, none of them turned a profit and, so far, Frank Wildhorn's productions have lost $20 million on broadway.
Wildhorn is engaged to Brandi Burkhardt, best known for playing the role of Siren on Passions.
In the popular music arena, Wildhorn has worked with such artists as Stacy Lattisaw, Natalie Cole, Kenny Rogers,
Trisha Yearwood, Tracy Lawrence, Trace Adkins, Patti LaBelle,
Dennis DeYoung and Linda Eder, to whom he was married. His Where Do Broken Hearts Go? was an international number one hit for Whitney Houston in the late 1980s.
He was named Creative Director of Atlantic Theatre, a division of Atlantic Records which specializes in developing new American musical works and their potential stars while strengthening the relationship between commercial theatre and the music industry.
In 2005, he co-founded *GlobalVision Records with long-time collaborator Jeremy Roberts. GlobalVision releases include a new concept recording of Dracula, and a new studio recording of Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection
He is also the first Broadway musician to work with the Takarazuka Revue on a Grand Theatre Musical (Cosmos Troupe's production of Never Say Goodbye)
