Paul Rigano is a composer, arranger, and music director, and the half of the Rigano Songbook that's more often sitting at the keys. As a pianist, he's gotten to tickle the ivories all over the world, including New York, Chicago, Texas, California, Italy, France, and Spain, mostly working on theatrical projects. Favorites include the world premiere of Be More Chill at Two River Theatre, Broadway Bounty Hunter at Barrington Stage, and sailing around the Mediterranean Sea as a dueling pianist aboard the MSC Seashore.

He has continued dueling with longtime Friend of the Songbook and collaborator Adam LaSalle. Most recently they were featured in the Studios of Key West’s cabaret series to sold out crowds. They are currently booking for 2026.

On Broadway, he's served multiple roles in the music departments of the recent revivals of West Side Story, The Music Man, and Funny Girl. His arrangements can be heard on Ian Brodsky’s second album, Friendly Neighborhood Something or Other. He has been very fortunate to get to make a lot of art that he's proud of with people he's proud to know.
