Clay Herzberg
Musical Theater Composer Based in New York City
About Me
I am an award winning musical theatre composer based in New York City. My short musical AIDEN recently won the audience favorite award in Short Play Festival, and I am presenting two others - The Legend of Rachel, and The Amazons of Overcote High in New York Theater Festival in May (stay tuned!). My other works include Dead Letter Perfect (Tel Aviv 2024) and When You Dance (Ha'Studio 2018). I've also written written numerous stand-alone songs and composed tracks for video games and short films.
Musical theater has always captivated me - from the classics to contemporary works - and I'm intrigued to find new ways in which music can be used to tell a story, deliver a message or ignite inspiration.
I'm particularly interested in stories about complexities of romance, children's journey to become adults, and sci-fi that looks like it could be humanity's future. Click here to read more about my inspirations and philosophy.
I'm constantly looking for new collaborators to work with so don't hesitate to reach out!
