Taub's original musical adaptations of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and As You
Like Itwere commissioned by the Public Theater as part of their
groundbreaking Public
Works initiative, and both received critically acclaimed productions at the Delacorte Theater in
Central Park in which she also starred. The original cast album of her Drama Desk nominated score
for Twelfth Night was released by Craft Recordings, and both
of her Shakespeare musicals have gone on to be produced by Seattle Repertory Theatre, Dallas Theater Center, the
National Theatre in London and many schools and communities around the world. They are currently available for
worldwide licensing through Concord Theatricals.

As a performer, Taub has traveled the world as a vocalist, actor and
musician. She starred in the west coast premiere and New York re-mounting of the Signature Theatre's hit
production Old Hats, created by Bill Irwin and David Shiner and directed by
Tina Landau, featuring Taub's original songs. She earned a Lucille Lortel Award nomination for her
