Autorenporträt
Leonard Diamond, M.D. (Book, Music and Lyrics): Doctor Diamond wrote his first musical in college and continued writing through medical school, psychiatric residency and private practice, right up to today! "Earnest" is the first musical for which he has written the book as well, which he acknowledges was only possible because he had Oscar Wilde as a collaborator. It is also the first of his musicals to be a finalist and given the opportunity to be fully produced at the New York Musical Theater Festival (NYMF) competitions for 2012 and 2013. None of this would have occurred without his wife, Ruth, who has been both the dream nurturer and the realist who made the fulfillment of the dream possible.
