They join composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim, winner of the 2002 Richard Rodgers Lifetime Achievement Award, and will be honored along with the other foundation award recipients at a ceremony at the Walter Reade Theatre at Lincoln Center on December 5th.

Cited by the Village Voice as "Best Knocking-On-Broadway's Door Songwriting Team," they will be reprising their cabaret act at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/) on January 6th, 10th, 13th,& 17th.

Their body of work has garnered them many outstanding songwriter awards including 4 MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs - http://www.macnyc.com/) Awards, 2 Back Stage Bistro Awards, and several grants for their musical theatre projects.

Goldrich and Heisler have toured both nationally and internationally performing their music at some of the world's most prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Canada's "Juste Pour Rire" comedy festival and the Kennedy Center. Their song, "Taylor, the Latte Boy" was sung by Kristin Chenoweth on both the Rosie O'Donnell Show and NPR's Prairie Home Companion.

Musicals written by the pair have played successfully in various theaters and concert halls all around the United States. "Adventures In Love," a musical revue written in collaboration with the book writing team of Charlie Shanian, and Shari Simpson (authors of "Maybe Baby, It's You") , enjoyed sold-out performances at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul and the Flower Mound Theater in Dallas. Their family musical, "Dear Edwina" is currently being internationally licensed by Music Theatre International. They are currently artists in residence at Off-Broadway's Second Stage Theatre where their show "Allison Under the Stars" is in development with book writer Susan Kim.

Goldrich and Heisler, together and separately, have written for Disney Interactive and Feature Animation, CBS, NBC, Nickelodeon and PBS.
