 USC Trojan Family Magazine - Spring 2000: Frank Wildhorn (p3)
As much entrepreneur as artist, Wildhorn – on the merit of his recording successes – persuaded Time Warner a few years ago to launch a new division of Atlantic Records devoted to developing recordings of emerging stage shows.
Wildhorn has used this unique perch to promote and nourish his own musicals, as well as develop concept albums for nontraditional projects like Smokey Joe’s Café and the “sublimely trashy” off-Broadway musical, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which played last fall in L.A.’s Henry Ford Theatre.

The jagged type seemed to crown the puckish, perennially baseball-capped Wildhorn as heir-apparent to Richard Rodgers, Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin.
His musical retracing of the nation’s bloodiest conflict took its place alongside Wildhorn’s romantic caprice, The Scarlet Pimpernel (in its third year and going strong at the Neil Simon Theatre), and his unstoppable Gothic bodice-ripper, Jekyll and Hyde (which has passed the 1,000-performance mark at the Plymouth Theatre).
But ask Wildhorn what he thinks of Broadway, and the likable composer is liable to snap.
