ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
—
The author wishes to thank Duncan Sheik, Jessie Nelson, and all the (ever-changing) casts, crews, creatives, and producers who worked with us over the many years of developing the musical, Alice by Heart. Special shout-outs to Kurt Deutsch, Cody Lassen, Bernie, Bob, Will, Jessica, and everyone at MCC Theater; as well as Anthony Banks, National Theatre: Connections; Paige Price, Theatre Aspen; and Johanna Pfaelzer, Thomas Pearson, and Barbara Manocherian, New York Stage and Film. For all their work on this book, he also wants to thank his successive editors: Ben Schrank, Marissa Grossman, and Casey McIntyre (with a shout-out to Alex Sanchez). He also thanks his (successive) book agents: Simon Green and Mollie Glick, along with Olivier Sultan, Carin Sage, Tony Etz, Ally Shuster, and everyone at CAA. This book would not exist without the indefatigable efforts of his (also successive!) assistants: Jenny Lester, Josie Callahan, Abby Faber, and Elisabeth Siegel. Thanks, too, to his lawyer Ken Weinrib, and finally, to his personal support team: Alvrone, Lori, David, and Emily Sater.
