Tom Kitt, a multi-talented artist wearing the hats of composer, conductor, orchestrator, and musician, has carved a singular path in the world of musical theatre. Born in 1974, his career took flight with the groundbreaking rock musical Next to Normal (2008), which brought him critical acclaim and collaborations with writer Brian Yorkey. The show, a powerful exploration of mental illness, garnered him the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Drama, two Tony Awards (Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations), and an Outer Critics Circle Award.
Kitt's diverse talents extend beyond Next to Normal. He has composed music for several other Broadway shows, including If/Then, Almost Famous, Flying Over Sunset, and Bring It On: The Musical. He has also contributed significantly to projects like the "Pitch Perfect" films and television shows like Grease Live. With a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album for Jagged Little Pill (2021) to his name, Tom Kitt continues to be a force in musical storytelling, forever shaping the landscape of contemporary theatre.
