Charles Strouse: Put on a Happy Face

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Charles Strouse, one of the most successful composers in Broadway history, gave us the music for hits like “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Annie,” and “Applause.” He gives us an insider’s view of Broadway, Hollywood, and beyond in his new memoir, Put on a Happy Face.

    Charles Strouse's first big film credit was for Bonnie and Clyde. I wonder how that job went -- did he design it to work side by side with Flatt and Scruggs? Was this experience -- good or bad -- typical of his film work?
