Edelman wrote the book and lyrics and adapted his original stage play to the audiobook with David B. Coe, a popular writer of Fantasy novels.
The cast of Spin, a witty musical re-imagining of the Grimm's fairy tale, also featured a list of Broadway and audiobook performers.
[7] Edelman and Fishman started working together in 1975, when they collaborated on a musical adaptation of George Farquhar's restoration comedy, The Beaux' Stratagem, titled, To Bed a Fortune, which was produced in 1976.
Edelman and Fishman have also written and produced songs about hygiene, nutrition, and dental care for the national Headstart Program, sponsored by the Soap and Detergent Association, Weightwatchers, and Colgate-Palmolive, respectively.
In 1989, they were commissioned by the Pittsburgh Playhouse Junior to write a musical version of Puss in Boots, for its Spring Season and serve as Artists In Residence prior to its debut.
The genesis of that commission was the Pittsburgh Playhouse's production of an earlier Edelman/Fishman children's musical, Rumpelstiltskin, originally produced in northern New Jersey by the Bergen County Players.
