Love is hard. Staying in love when your partner is on a drug-induced spiral of depression and self-loathing is even harder - as shown in the new musical love story ALBERT & ALICE. Albert & Alice are two crazy kids in love. Alice has given up a comfortable life in the suburbs, much to the dismay of her sister and brother-in-law, to be with Albert, a wannabe musician who makes ends meet by working as a taxi driver for one of the lesser quality cab companies in New York City. However his temper and attitude over what he perceives as slights by his boss get him into trouble time and time again. Disgusted with his life and feeling himself going nowhere, Albert turns to drugs to ease the pain - something
which quickly threatens to cost him everything he holds dear, including Alice. However as events play out, three mysterious entities arrive on the scene. Exactly who they and what they want are unclear. Are they angels trying to steer Albert on the path to righteousness, devils wanting to drag him further into the abyss or a combination of both? And are they real or only products of Albert's unsettled mind, figures which only he can see? Whatever the answer, they appear to hold the key to Albert's final destruction or ultimate redemption.

Andrew then moved to NYC, where he played Jazz and obtained a Masters Degree in Musical Composition. He has composed 3 string quartets and a symphony, all of which have been performed. His latest offering is the musical play "Albert and Alice", which is based upon Andrew's early experiences (real or imagined) living on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
