SEE LINK BELOW for a PDF of “Stephen Schwartz With Honors” interview by Todd Sussman. I am especially glad The Schwartz Scene is able to post this piece, because the print issue with Stephen’s interview, a true collector’s item, is no longer available. The album included a rare and brilliant song he composed called “We Are Lights (The Chanukah Song),” so I included that in my questions. I was fresh off helping to edit the liner notes for a then forthcoming Kristin Chenoweth album called Happiness Is…Christmas.

And I still remember the lasting impact the artistry of just the teaser trailer from Pocahontas had on me, which was devoted entirely to the song “Colors of the Wind.” I own his cast albums and soundtracks and have seen many of his shows. I have been a lifetime fan of Stephen’s work. (This was quite a gift for me, given Stephen’s work, at that time, on pre-production for Wicked filming, and his preparation of Disenchanted.) The answer was “yes,” if Stephen agreed to participate, which he did.

When I learned Stephen Schwartz was going to be receiving the American Songbook Association (ASA) Lifetime Achievement Award, I immediately called Frank Dain, the amazing editor of Cabaret Scenes (sponsored by the ASA) and asked if I could interview Stephen. Stephen Schwartz receives a Lifetime Achievement Award, May 2022.
