Beginning his career in the cabaret and film studios of Weimar-era Germany, Franz Waxman (1906-1967) wrote sassy and irreverent popular songs. Fleeing Nazi persecution, Waxman first settled in Paris and wrote sardonic songs for the French cabaret circuit. His final exodus was to Hollywood, where he composed 144 film scores, garnering twelve Academy Award nominations and two awards. Waxman is best known for his scores for such iconic films as The Philadelphia Story, Bride of Frankenstein, and Sunset Boulevard as well as his celebrated Carmen Fantasy. This entertaining cabaret will survey Waxman's life in exile through his greatest songs in German, French and English.
