The original cast of The Wild West
As a songwriter, I'm proud to say my music is performed literally around the world. (I've heard one of my songs in a bar on Mykonos!) I've written the scores to many shows including Freeway Dreams, The Wild West, Music Drive Me Crazy, Much Moore, and Good Morning, Hollywood. With Jason Blume I wrote the music for the HBO cartoon Frog And Toad Are Friends, PBS's Frontline, the film Be Well (with MILTON BERLE), the Emmy-nominated Down For The Count and the Emmy-award winning Whatever Happened To Childhood? My song My Superman is featured in the show The Gay 90's and is on the original cast album from Varase-Saraband.

The original cast of Good Morning, Hollywood
As producer/director I've presented 3 Broads 3 (starring LIZ TORRES, DEBORAH TRANELLI and BRENDA SILAS-MOORE, co-produced with TIM BURKE) and Coffin Capers for Knott's Berry Farm. I've worked extensively as an actor and director in the Los Angeles area for more years and through more jobs than I care to remember!

I was recently one of the stars of the revue
"TOO OLD FOR THE CHORUS" by Mark Winkler, Marie Cain and Shelly Markham which ran for five months at the Celebration Theater in Los Angeles.
l-r: Me, Alvin Ing, Virginia McMath, Sammy Williams & Jo Hinds
"THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOLLYWOOD" which I wrote,
also ran for five months at the Stella Adler Theater in L.A.  There is a lot to say about this show! see: JOURNAL
I love writing "specialty material": music and lyrics tailored especially for a performer - my idol is BILLY BARNES! - and I've worked with DEBBIE REYNOLDS, LIZ TORRES, ROSE MARIE, MICHAEL GREER and HOLLY WOODLAWN, among many others.

I was proud to serve as Musical Director for the debut of several new musicals recently:


A dark musical farce
"24 Hours" - a new Rock Musical

Cast (l-r):  Ryan Champion, Lexie Dreyfus, Jeff Griggs
A special production of "The Phantom of the Opera" for the Alzheimers Association
Drew Seeley
Drew (from Disney's "High School Musical") was the star of the L.A. Production of "Merry-Go-Round" the world premiere of the Sherman Bros. newest show.


After song-writing, I'm probably best known as 1/2 of a cabaret act called "Wayne & Brenda". (Pictures!) We've played in the best nightclubs around the world ... and many of the worst! BRENDA SILAS-MOORE (you'll see her name a lot on these pages!) and I have been performing together for nearly 25 years. And I'm happy to say nightclub lovers have followed us around from continent to continent during all that time.

Um, ... This was taken some time ago!

I support new songwriters in my own field believing we'll all get famous at the same time. I plan to write, sing and produce CDs until they make me stop!

Most recent activity:  2005
I've been doing a workshop of a new musical by Robert Schrock and David Francis called "DOGS:  For People Who Hated CATS" playing ... what else? ... a dog.  Cute show.  [ The new production is called "BARK"]  I've also been an actor in another series of workshops for a new musical by Mark Winkler and David Benoit called "Something's Got To Give" that chronicles the last few months in the life of Marilyn Monroe.  I play the "bad guy," director George Cukor.  I've finished the music on a new show with lyricist Chandler Warren called "Adam & Eve & Steve" and we're working toward a production.  And I continue producing music with composer Andy Belling and on my own:  1) a childrens's CD for release in the UK  2) A demo of the music for 4 children's musicals for Chandler Warren and Robert Wiles and 3)  The long-delayed demo for "Too Old For The Chorus".  I did pre-recording of a duet with Liz Torres and Sally Struthers for the TV series "The Gilmore Girls".  And look for a new TV show on PBS for children called "KIDISTORY".  I wrote the theme song!

2006
I was Musical Director for a new musical "Dvorak In America" based on the melodies of famous Czech composer Antonin Dvorak.  We played the show with piano and cello!  It had a good run here in Los Angeles.  I was in "Nuncrackers" with Sally Field at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood.  I was musical director for "Merry-Go-Round," a new musical by the Sherman Bros. (of "Mary Poppins" fame).  Look for that one in the near future.  I appeared on The Learning Channel's "Untold Tales of the E.R" as "Chief Eugene Brown", rescuing an injured football player.  I did several concerts in support of the "What My Heart" CD - very satisfying - both alone and with the 4 Friends, including the big conference at Asilomar.  And I created a My Space for myself and for Ducy Lee!   http://www.myspace.com/waynemooreducylee
