An accomplished comedian, singer, actor, and composer/lyricist for theatre, television, film, and commercials, Rusty Magee was one of the most influential artists of Manhattan’s off-Broadway and cabaret scene, whose eclectic voice, style, and influence is still felt to this day. His works include the scores to ART’s Ubu Rock, MTC’s The Green Heart, Irish Rep’s The Irish…and How They Got That Way, and musical contributions to television shows like “Out of The Box” and “The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss.”
