Jason has written nine full-length musicals including Parade, written with Alfred Uhry and directed by Harold Prince, which garnered Jason the Tony Award for Original Score; and The Bridges of Madison County, a musical adapted with Marsha Norman from the bestselling novel, for which Jason received two Tony Awards (for Best Score and Orchestrations).
