Renowned composer and lyricist Alexander S. Bermange has garnered worldwide attention with his latest music album release “Wit & Whimsy.” The album showcases the unbridled talent, humor, and unparalleled creativity that has come to define his work in the theater industry.

Bermange is no stranger to success in the world of theater, having made waves on both sides of the Atlantic with his compositions for musicals such as “The Route to Happiness,” “Thirteen Days,” and “Sleeping Arrangements.” His unique ability to capture depth and convey warmth, humor, or sorrow with his melodies has made his body of work a masterclass in songwriting.
