The Adventures of Milo and Otis

Milo is a kitten, Otis is a dog. When Milo gets into a small box with the intention of taking a trip down a river, Otis follows. En route, the stars encounter bad weather, life-threatening situations, and even potential mates.

Mrs. Santa Claus

Nominated for 6 Emmy Awards including “Best Music and Lyrics.”

A Hallmark Movie Channel feature, Mrs. Santa Claus is Mark Saltzman’s classic holiday hit, featuring Angela Lansbury, Charles Durning, and Michael Jeter. The film’s musical score was written by Jerry Herman, the composer of such hit Broadway musicals as Hello, Dolly! and La Cage aux Folles.

“The CBS movie, billed as the first original musical for television since Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella in 1957, turns out to be, of all things, a feisty feminist and unionist tract set in 1910.”

John J. O’Connor, The New York Times

The Tin Pan Alley Rag

The Tin Pan Alley Rag receives an Outer Critics Nomination for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical! (2009)

“Mark Saltzman’s rumination on Berlin, Joplin and the American dream has laudable aims beyond nostalgic diversion. It operates as a colloquy between parallel giants, posited against the current of their era …beautifully rendered musical selections that eschew a revue-style ‘greatest hits’ program… panoramic… excellent.”

David C. Nichols, Los Angeles Times

Falling for Make Believe

Lorenz Hart, His Life, His Songs

“Mark Saltzman is one smart cookie. He approaches his new bio-musical of the legendary Lorenz Hart with a passionate curiosity about the great man’s life and career: intellectual curiosity about what was and imaginative curiosity for what might have been.”
