It Could Happen To You:
A Man's Musical Guide To Love
starring Broadway’s Bob Stillman
Tony Award-nominated actor, singer and writer BOB STILLMAN, who most recently starred opposite Christine Ebersole in the acclaimed Broadway musical Grey Gardens, highlights “Live from the Algonquin at SPAC” series with two performances of “It Could Happen To You: A Man’s Musical Guide To Love.”
Praised as “stunning…first rate” by the Village Voice and “sterling” by the NY Daily News, for his role in Grey Gardens, Bob Stillman’s latest accolades mirror those he’s received throughout his career. He’s been nominated twice for Tony Awards—first as actor, composer and onstage pianist in Dirty Blonde and later as one of the songwriters for Urban Cowboy: The Musical.
Born in New York City, Bob studied piano and composition at the Juilliard and Manhattan Schools beginning at age 9. He went on to graduate with honors in music from Princeton. His other New York stage credits include Molina in Kiss of the Spider Woman (opposite Vanessa Williams), and the dying singer/songwriter in the cult off-Broadway hit The Last Session. He’s also been featured in some of the coolest new musical theater pieces by such new-wave composers as Adam Guettel (Saturn Returns at the Public Theater, released on Nonesuch as “Myths and Hymns”) and Michael John LaChiusa (Hello Again at Lincoln Center).
In the cabaret program, d, Stillman will take audiences on a tour of the rocky road to love, in songs by writers as diverse as George Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Burke and Van Heusen, Billy Joel, and James Taylor.
