Howard (2018)

Film · 2018 · 93 min · PG · Documentary · Music

He gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul.

Though legendary lyricist Howard Ashman died far too young, his impact on Broadway, movies, and the culture at large were incalculable. Told entirely through rare archival footage and interviews with Ashman’s family, friends, associates, and longtime partner Bill Lauch, Howard is an intimate tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent and a rousing celebration of musical storytelling itself.

Directed by Don Hahn

Starring Howard Ashman, Alan Menken, Bill Lauch, Don Hahn, Sarah Gillespie, Shirley Ashman, Kyle Renick, Nancy Parent
