A Little About Me
I’m Michael Radi, and welcome to my website!!
I am a composer, lyricist, librettist, performer, vocal coach, musical director, and YouTuber currently residing in New York City. I graduated from SUNY Geneseo with a B.A. in Theatre-English (Summa Cum Laude with Honors and several distinctions). I am also an alumnus of the esteemed Lehman Engel BMI Musical Theatre Writing Workshop as a lyricist, and continue several collaborations formed within the program.
As a writer, I’ve written four full-length musical theatre pieces, including my original musicals The King’s Legacy and ‘S Wonderful: An Evening with George Gershwin, which both received world premiere productions at the Bristol Valley Theater in Naples, NY (August 2019 and 2021 respectively). The King’s Legacy has also been presented in Industry Reading format, both in fall of 2019 as part of the Dramatists Guild Friday Night Footlights and in November 2016, as well as part of the Emerging Artists Theater Festival in 2014, and in a workshop through the Random Access Theatre in 2013.
I continue to collaborate on other projects as well, including a musical adaptation of The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, which received its first workshop reading in October 2018. I’m also collaborating on a family-oriented musical comedy set in the world of competitive baton twirling, based off my family's history with the sport!
In addition to the writing, I enjoy performing at every possible opportunity and feel particularly lucky to have found a performance home at Bristol Valley Theater over seven of the past eight summers (performance news below).
I’m also a private vocal coach, instructor, and musical director, both professionally and educationally!
