 \nA hundredth birthday celebration of one of America's most creative songw
 riters with 'Goody Goody' &ndash\; singers Mary Ann Lanier\, Valerie Anast
 asio and Heather Peterson\, and Robert Humphreville on piano.\n\nFrom broa
 dwayworld.com:\n\nBorn June 29\, 1910\, in New York City\, Frank wrote his
  first song at the age of six. In 1931\, he teamed with William Schuman (f
 uture President of Juilliard)\, resulting in Frank's first published song\
 , 'In Love with a Memory of You.' In 1936\, Loesser and composer Irving Ac
 tman contributed five songs to &ldquo\;The Illustrator's Show.&rdquo\; It 
 closed after five performances\, but landed them a Hollywood contract. The
 re Loesser provided lyrics for the music of such greats as Jule Styne\, Ho
 agy Carmichael\, and Burton Lane\, producing hits such as 'I Don't Want to
  Walk Without You\,' 'Heart and Soul\,&rdquo\; 'Two Sleepy People\,' and t
 he 1948 Academy Award winner\, 'Baby\, It's Cold Outside\,' for which he a
 lso supplied the music.\n\nIn 1948\, producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin 
 convinced Loesser to create the score for &ldquo\;Where's Charley?\,&rdquo
 \; which became his first Broadway hit\, and introduced the song\, 'Once I
 n Love With Amy.' He followed that with one of the masterworks of musical 
 theatre\, &ldquo\;Guys and Dolls\,&rdquo\; opening November 24\, 1950\, an
 d winning the Tony Award for Best Musical.\n\nFrank wrote the score and th
 e book for his next show\, which he called an 'extended musical comedy\,&r
 dquo\; &ldquo\;The Most Happy Fella.&rdquo\; &ldquo\;How to Succeed in Bus
 iness without Really Trying&rdquo\; opened October 14\, 1961\, winning the
  Pulitzer Prize and seven Tony Awards\, including Best Musical.\n\nIn the 
 midst of his stage work\, Frank returned to Hollywood and created one of h
 is best loved scores for the film &ldquo\;Hans Christian Andersen\,&rdquo\
 ; which featured 'Wonderful Copenhagen\,' 'Anywhere I Wander\,' 'The Inch 
 Worm' and 'Thumbelina.'\n\nSince Loesser's untimely death in 1969\, &ldquo
 \;The Most Happy Fella&rdquo\; has been revived on Broadway and at the New
  York City Opera (where it has become part of the permanent repertory)\; &
 ldquo\;How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying&rdquo\; returned i
 n 1995\, starring Matthew Broderick\, and becoming a long running hit. &ld
 quo\;Guys and Dolls&rdquo\; won the 1992 Tony Award for Best Revival\, and
  returned in 2009 for its fourth run on Broadway. In 1999\, Frank Loesser 
 was honored by the U.S. Postal Service with a postage stamp bearing his li
 keness.\n\nStart time: 7:30pm
