Where are Broadway's biggest talents? Downstage Center. The latest sits down with Tony Award winner (Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon) Robert Lopez. The composer and lyricist talks to Ted Chapin (American Theatre Wing Chairman of the Board and President and Executive Director of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization) about his inspiration, the Sondheim influence, finding the comedy, and, of course, The Book of Mormon, from its inceptions to its "I Believe" ode to "The Sound of Music."
