Kyle Meredith With... David Yazbek

David Yazbek, the artist behind the music for Broadway&#39;s The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Women On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, and this year&#39;s Tootsie, jumped on the line to speak with Kyle Meredith about the lyrics and music for 2017&#39;s The Band&#39;s Visit. Yazbek, who also co-wrote the theme for Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego, speaks about the musical&#39;s extremely relevant themes of cultures coming together. He also shares his own family history, growing up in multi-ethnic New York, and how that all came to influence his writing and playing. What&#39;s more, Yazbek offers a glimpse into his next project: a musical adaptation of 80&#39;s classic The Princess Bride.
