Robert Waldman (born 1936) [1] is an American composer, musical arranger, and orchestrator. Waldman has collaborated with Alfred Uhry twice, on Here's Where I Belong , the disastrous 1968 adaptation of John Steinbeck's East of Eden that closed on opening night, and the considerably more successful The Robber Bridegroom , which was produced on Broadway in both 1975 and 1976, enjoyed a year-long US national tour, and has become a staple of regional theatres. It garnered Waldman a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Music.
Over the years he has composed, arranged, and orchestrated incidental music for the Broadway stagings of numerous dramatic plays, including The Rivals , Dinner at Eight , Ivanov , The Last Night of Ballyhoo , The School for Scandal , The Heiress , and Abe Lincoln in Illinois .
