For our East Coast Fans, premieres onstage, live Dec 2 — Dec 12 at Hudson Theater Works!
Elliot and Me is a musical comedy based on the lives of songwriter Elliot Willensky and his younger brother Steven. The brothers have written a 2-man show they are preparing to pitch to legendary Broadway producer Max Stone. It’s a heartfelt story of brotherly love based on a powerful bond that has grown through the years. Elliot is a charming, free-spirited ladies’ man overflowing with talent and joie-de-vivre… with a knack to drive Steven crazy. Elliot and Steven both reflect on the volatile ups and downs of their shared experiences: from their raucous “wonder years” growing up in Bayonne, NJ; to the painful conflict when Elliot defies the expectations of his traditional middle-class Jewish family and drops out of medical school to write pop songs; to Elliot’s rise to stardom writing hits for Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, The 5th Dimension and Steven’s starry-eyed admiration for his Hollywood lifestyle; and eventually to their role reversals when Elliot’s career hits a few bumps in the road and he needs to rely on Steven for help. The play culminates with a supersonic rendition of The 5th Dimension fan-favorite, “The Singer” co-written by group founding member, LaMonte McLemore and Elliot Willensky. Each of the surviving members of The Original 5th Dimension (Mac, Florence LaRue, and Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr.) gave their enthusiastic approval of the song to be utilized in the musical as its apex…certainly another exciting “new dimension” to the group’s legacy!
