Composer William Finn explains how he became involved in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and what drew him to the show's quirky characters; charts the development of the "Marvin" trilogy, including March Of The Falsettos and Falsettoland, and talks about the differing approaches of James Lapine and Graciela Daniele to that material; tells the story of his own early-1990s medical crisis and how that became the basis for A New Brain; and recounts his extreme trepidation about the new revue of his songs, Make Me A Song, during its debut in Connecticut.
