About Our Project

MICHAEL & DAN’S AMAZING QUEER SONGBOOK

A living memoir documenting and celebrating songwriters Michael Biello & Dan Martin’s 46+ years together as life partners, creative collaborators, and LGBTQ cultural activists. Through films of their archival performances from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s – combined with new performances by some of the great Broadway and Off-Broadway performers they’ve worked with over the years – this evolving musical memoir reflects Michael & Dan’s rich history, queer activism, and their enduring love.
