Four-time Grammy nominated music producer and supervisor Matt Sullivan (Chicago, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) joins The Film Scorer Podcast! We primarily discuss his work with Steven Spielberg on West Side Story, how he carved this role out for himself almost by accident on the set of Chicago, and the upcoming musical Disenchanted!
Matt is actually the first non-composer to join the show, and it was great having a crash-course in music supervision and production, especially from the man synonymous with the mega-musical!
West Side Story is currently in theaters, and should be available on demand and physical media shortly. I highly recommend watching it, even for those who aren’t big musical fans (I certainly am not!), as it has beautiful cinematography, music, and performances, many of which are Matt’s own handiwork!
