HOWARD

"He gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul."

20181h 33m6.8 TMDb

Directed by Don Hahn

Spoiler-Free

Though legendary lyricist Howard Ashman died far too young, his impact on Broadway, movies, and the culture at large were incalculable. Told entirely through rare archival footage and interviews with Ashman’s family, friends, associates, and longtime partner Bill Lauch, Howard is an intimate tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent and a rousing celebration of musical storytelling itself.
