“Get the hard cover for the pics documenting my endlessly receding hairline AND the audiobook because it features performances by the most ridiculous talented cast that I get to call friends,” Shaiman shared on Instagram.
In “Never Mind the Happy”, Shaiman chronicles five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him, spending his teenage years in community theatre, starting a long collaboration with Bette Midler in the ’70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the ’80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the ’90s, right up to the peaks (and valleys) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on.
