Read what people are saying about Samsel / Anderson…

  • “For my money, the MVP songwriters are the in-house team of Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel. Without fail, every time I found a number exceptional, I saw their name in the credits. This duo elevates the series immensely, and they have a bright future ahead of them."

    — Gregory Lawrence, Collider

  • Ten years ago, at the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop, two songwriters walked into the room wearing the same outfit. Completely unplanned, these two were then paired together. Ever since, Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel have been inseparable, writing whimsical lyrics and catchy melodies that make people laugh and smile.

    — Dan Meyer, Playbill

  • "In spite of the overall excellence of the concert, there are a couple of things that should be said, regarding the night. The first of these things is that Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel are two of the funniest people alive, and watching/listening to them while they executed their hosting duties was like being at a Saturday Night Live taping. "
