Art, artists and the age of Youtube composers | Benj Pasek & Justin Paul | TEDxBroadway

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul talk about being composers in the age of Youtube. They also perform a song from an upcoming show, and talk about why the online formats are great, but not quite enough. Benj Pasek & Justin Paul are the Tony-nominated songwriters of the Broadway musical, A Christmas Story. Their score for the show received a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Music. They are also the composers behind the Off-Broadway musical Dogfight, a Best New Musical nominee for the Drama League, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle awards.
