 Beauty and the Beast. Little Shop of Horrors.The Little Mermaid. Aladdin. Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy Award-winner Howard Ashman wrote the lyrics for some of the stage and screen`s best-loved scores before his untimely death in 1991. This next volume of PS Classics` celebrated Songwriter Series, drawn primarily from private demo recordings, features Ashman singing selections from all these scores, as well as songs from lesser-known shows like God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater and from unproduced works.

A bonus CD includes a true rarity: the complete demos -- 15 tracks -- from Ashman`s 1986 collaboration with Marvin Hamlisch, the Broadway musical Smile. This two-CD set captures the diverse and memorable accomplishments of one of the true geniuses of the contemporary American musical theatre.
