Stephen Schwartz to Receive Johnny Mercer Award at 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala
'Wicked' songwriter Stephen Schwartz is set to receive the 2025 Johnny Mercer Award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala on June 12 in New York City.
Tim Rice, who teamed with Andrew Lloyd Webber to write such classics as Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, won the award in 2023. Schwartz’s other musicals, in addition to those already named, include The Magic Show, The Baker’s Wife, Working, Rags, Children of Eden, and the upcoming The Queen of Versailles, which is slated to open on Broadway this fall. That award, named after the Oscar- and Grammy-winning lyricist, is presented to young songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry with their original songs.
