NEW YORK—Though billed as a musical, “The Wrong Man” features completely sung rather than spoken words. Does this make it an opera? No, no, no! There’s not a whiff of Puccini or Verdi.
The story—of an ordinary man who encounters bad luck—is its own thing, under the banner of pop music composer Ross Golan, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics. Golan’s background includes the 2016 BMI Pop Songwriter of the Year award. He has also served as writer of songs for the likes of Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and other high achievers.
