Winners of the Fred Ebb Award for "excellence in musical theatre songwriting," Thomas Mizer and Curtis Moore are an accomplished team whose work has appeared on stages and screens around the world. Most recently, they composed five songs for the Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—the first original songs ever to be featured on the Emmy-winning hit.
Mizer & Moore’s theatrical credits include commissions from Lincoln Center and the Williamstown Theater Festival as well as residencies with the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, the Mercer Writers Colony at Goodspeed Musicals and the American Music Theatre Project at their alma mater, Northwestern University. Named a Richard Rodgers Award Finalist, their romantic mystery Triangle premiered at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley to rave reviews, and went on to receive six Theatre Bay Area Awards including “Outstanding World Premiere Musical.” They are currently working on four new theater pieces, including musicals for Universal Theatrical Group and Grove/Whitman Commissions (producers of Fun Home & The Band’s Visit).
On his own, Curtis Moore is a respected composer, songwriter, performer, conductor and producer of film and theater music. His credits include Venice at The Public Theater, Nora Ephron’s Broadway play Lucky Guy starring Tom Hanks, Sam Mendes’ acclaimed world-tour of Richard III, and Todd Solondz’s film Palindromes.
In addition to his work with Mr. Moore, Thomas Mizer is an award-winning copywriter for national media brands including Comedy Central & Food Network. In a “prior” life as an actor, Thomas appeared Off-Broadway, around the country and on TV in numerous roles, including “Steve” in the original, record-breaking production of Blue’s Clues, Live!.
