About Adam Anders: Behind the Music with a Hitmaker
Adam Anders is a television and music producer who has sold more than 100 million albums and in recent years has become one of the most in-demand Executive Producers for music-driven film and television. Anders is the CEO of Anders Media, and its record label Deep Well Records, a sub-label of Capitol Music Group. Host Gordon Cox (contributing theatre editor at VARIETY and host of VARIETY’s Stagecraft Podcast on The Broadway Podcast Network) helps drive this amazing collection of conversations with Adam including adapting The Prom from stage to screen for Netflix, creating the original sound of Glee for Ryan Murphy, and even why he decided to step away from an incredibly successful career writing songs for top pop artists around the world.
Not only does Meryl Streep bring her own spin to each new song she records, but every take is a new and unique performance. That's the challenge Adam Anders had when working with Meryl as well as Nicole Kidman, James Corden, Keenan Michael Key, Andrew Rannells, Ariana DeBose, and the rest of the amazing cast of The Prom on Netflix. This group of experienced and incredibly talented performers pushed Adam in new and exciting creative directions.
