He's also written the film scores for "Bonnie and Clyde," and "The Night They Raided Minskys," and others. Last year, STROUSE mounted a sequel to "Annie," -- "Annie Warbucks." When asked if he'd ever just wanted to quit he said, "Never. . . The one thing that all the music teachers I had instilled in me was a desire to connect notes. . . I love composing for the theater."
