A Texan by birth and New Yorker by choice, Paul is an award-winning playwright and writes book, music and lyrics for his own original musicals, including Babes at Sea, Panther City and Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl. Most recently, Paul, Bert Draesel and Nancy Leeds collaborated on The Dancing Princess, a family musical based on the children’s book by New York author and illustrator Judith Gwyn Brown.
Through their company, The Musical Machine, Paul Cozby and his wife, Sherry, partnered with Tony-winning producer Van Dean on the world premiere and off-Broadway debut of Rooms—A Rock Romance, directed by Scott Schwartz. And Paul was proud to be one of producer Ken Davenport's POGs (People of Godspell), helping bring that beloved musical back to Broadway.
A newspaper reporter and editor in a previous life, Paul enjoys writing about New York and theater. And he's a proud PR guy, creating press materials for books and films. Paul and Sherry live on New York's Upper West Side with their chihuahua, Whinnie. None of their five kids went to the University of Texas, and Paul will get over that someday.
