Lawrence Coben is a composer of music and lyrics for musicals. He is currently focused on finding a collaborator to write the book for a musical, for which he has already composed half of the songs. He plans to write the remaining songs and adapt existing ones as needed to suit the book.
Coben has also published three books: 'Japanese Cloisonné: History, Technique and Appreciation' (1982), 'Beastly Rhymes and Reasons' (2005), and 'Anna's Shtetl' (2007).
