Music Of Your Life was conceived by composer Zina Goldrich and lyricist Marcy Heisler based in New York, who have spent the past two decades infecting the Broadway community with their unique brand of comedic and theatricality in numbers. As performers themselves, Goldrich and Heisler have appeared at Carnegie Recital Hall, the Kennedy Centre Millennium Stage and the Ford Centre of the Performing Arts.
