What They’re Saying:
- Pasek & Paul: “Writing a patter song where Steve Martin accuses baby triplets of murder was certainly never on our 2023 bingo card. Getting to create a big number for such a comedic and musical hero of ours—alongside our wickedly brilliant friends Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman—turned out to be a bonkers and beautiful dream come true. Steve’s commitment to this song, full of tongue twists and absurd alliteration, was a total joy to behold and a wonderful collaboration we will never forget.”
- On creating the score, Khosla said, “The musical score for Only Murders in the Building is built around several themes for our characters-feelings of love, loss, loneliness, and companionship. For this new season, I composed new themes for our new characters, one of which is a theme for Loretta (Meryl Streep). I had extensive conversations with showrunner John Hoffman and our editors about the musical needs of each scene, then I’d create the score, and record it with our amazing live orchestral ensemble with our incredible players.”
