Dan Redfield Is Celebrated For His Diverse Musical Contributions To Musical Theatre, Film & The Concert Hall

In this in-depth conversation, podcast host Tom Alvarez sits down with Los Angeles–based composer, conductor, and orchestrator Dan Redfeld to explore his wide-ranging career and his newest major project: Jo, a cinematic new musical based on Little Women. Redfeld shares how his lifelong passion for music began at an early age, shaped by classical training, film scores, and musical theater, and how those influences converge in Jo, a richly orchestrated, story-driven score with a strong feminist lens.The discussion traces the musical’s long journey—from early workshops in the 1990s, through a COVID-era reinvention, to a full London cast recording and an upcoming one-night-only West End concert at Theatre Royal Drury Lane on January 25. Redfeld also reflects on his work in Broadway, opera, film music, and education, his creative process as a composer, and the enduring power of collaboration with musicians. The episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how a large-scale musical is built—and reborn—over decades, with eyes firmly set on a future full West End and Broadway production.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
