Todd Souvignier’s THE FRONT MAN is the new hit musical about the music business and organized crime. It’s the story of Marty Stein, enterprising New York nightclub owner; he’s the Mafia’s midwife at the births of Be-Bop and Rock & Roll. Mob money and muscle fuel the growth of Marty’s music empire; the more he achieves, the more he’s endangered by his life-long friends and partners in the Romano crime family. From extortion and payola to narcotics and murder, it’s all business-as-usual for these New York gangsters and their FRONT MAN. Based on the secret history of American music, Todd Souvignier’s THE FRONT MAN is a dark comedy so true it can only be told as fiction. THE FRONT MAN captures the excitement, danger, and scandal of early Rock & Roll with eighteen original songs by New Orleans composer Todd Souvignier.
