Brilliant award winning song writing team Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are my guests. Currently they are represented on Broadway in the smash hit Some Like it Hot. I had the privilege of working with them on Hairspray and Catch Me If You Can. You also may know their music from the tv show Smash. We talk about their incredible careers, and they give advice on how to audition. Can you take their music and make it your own? To riff or not to riff, that is the question.
