Frank "Fraver" Verlizzo

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my episode with Broadway poster artist Frank “Fraver” Verlizzo, whose new murder mystery Scenery of the Crime is available anywhere books are sold. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including how the movie of THE LION KING inspired his logo design, showing Angela Lansbury the SWEENEY TODD logo, his career renaissance as a mystery writer, his early work on OVER HERE and GYPSY, designing two logos for WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY?, Stephen Sondheim’s note on his logo for GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER, why he focuses on the font of the title of a show, his favorite poster that never made it, presenting his A DOLL’S LIFE designs to Hal Prince, the two Susan Schulman’s who brought his book to fruition, paying tribute to Saul Bass with his PRYMATE design, coming up with different takes on MORNING’S AT SEVEN, venturing into advertising with IMAGINARY FRIENDS, his thoughts on AI art, and so much more. Don’t miss this candid conversation with a true visionary.
