Hello there, my name is Eli and I think we should work together. Do you have a musical missing a musical director? Need someone to write songs or work with singers? As Yazbek wrote, “Here I Am”!
My BA is in Theater Ed. but I music direct broadway national tours. How does that work?
I still seem to have the same fascination with Stephen Sondheim, The Beatles, Queen, Joni Mitchell, Debussy and Ben Folds Five so…
Let’s work together, shall we?

“The music, as would be expected for a show where it itself is the star, is top-notch. It is impossible to believe that Music Director Eli Bigelow’s orchestra is only a five-piece band” - MARYLAND THEATRE GUIDE on Ain’t Too Proud
“Conducted by Eli Bigelow, the orchestra impressively sets the mood to each comical and exciting scene.” - THE SLEEPLESS CRITIC on The Wizard of Oz
“And let’s not forget the live orchestra, which kept the show buzzing with energy from beginning to end…their energy fueled every comedic chase, emotional ballad, and toe-tapping dance break, making the evening feel as vibrant as any Broadway house.” - BROADWAYWORLD on Mrs. Doubtfire
