Composer Frank Wildhorn bridges pop and Broadway

Wildhorn first found success as a pop and R&B songwriter, penning Whitney Houston's ballad "Where Do Broken Hearts Go.” He ruled Broadway in the late 1990s when he had three shows running simultaneously, a nearly four-year run for "Jekyll and Hyde," "The Scarlett Pimpernel" and "The Civil War," which all were nominated for Tony Awards. Now, Wildhorn's eighth Broadway show, a revamped revival of "Jekyll and Hyde," opens on April 18. (AP Photo/J Pat Carter) DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Frank Wildhorn sits in the lobby of a South Florida hotel, wearing a baseball cap and flip-flops, happy to be back home by the ocean. He's remarkably unfrazzled, even though he's days away from his eighth Broadway show opening, a revamped revival of "Jekyll and Hyde."
