Jan Simpson’s Stagecraft: David Auburn, Playwright of “Summer, 1976”

Benjamin Pajak performs “Where Is Love?” from “Oliver!” The classic show will be performed at New York City Center, as part of its Encore! series May 3-14. In this touching moment, the young actor was so overcome after singing that he started tearing up (and was subsequently comforted by the show’s director Lear deBessonet).
