The Education of Randy Newman

"Education" was a stage show loosely based on Randy's life and totally filled with his songs. It was staged first in Costa Mesa by South Coast Repertory, and then reworked with additional songs written specifically for the show by Randy and presented in Seattle by the ACT.
