I write book and lyrics for musicals, as well as songs for TV & film, usually with my co-conspirator Curtis Moore. (That’s us in the photo below sitting in the middle of a street, as one does.) Most recently, we returned for the fifth and final season of writing original songs for the Amazon Prime hit, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. We received our third consecutive Emmy Nomination and won the 2023 World Soundtrack Award Best Original Song (the first time a TV composition has ever won this award) for “Your Personal Trash Man Can,” as featured on the Music of Season Five album. We are also winners of the Fred Ebb Award for “excellence in musical theatre songwriting,” as well as recipients of a Jonathan Larson Grant from the American Theatre Wing.
Our theater works include Triangle (winner of 6 Theatre Bay Area Awards as the “Outstanding World Premiere Musical”), The Legend of Stagecoach Mary (NAMT Festival of New Musicals) and The Bus to Buenos Aires (Ensemble Studio Theatre, NYC). We are currently working on multiple new pieces including stage musicals for Universal Theatrical Group, and Michael Cassel Group. If you would like more in-depth updates, sheet music, and buckets of content from my musical life, head over to MizerandMoore.com.
But since you’re already here, feel free to scroll down and check out a few of my current favorites from our songbook.

When Mrs. Maisel is forced to appear in an industrial musical titled Private Waste Management: A Musical Journey in Three Acts, this is the “trashy” opening number.
An inside look at the first time the original cast of Triangle sang through the show with the orchestra. One of my favorite days ever.
For the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, we had a “Song Salon” featuring some of our favorite musical moments and performers from the series—all accompanied on Cole Porter’s piano!
