This winter, Stephen Schwartz is visiting a workshop in Vienna of his new romantic comedy musical, “Schikaneder.” He’s asked someone special to fly over and offer his opinion - his son.Scott Schwartz (born May 12, 1968) is an American actor best known for his roles in the films The Toy (1982), A Christmas Story (1983) and its 2022 sequel A Christmas Story Christmas, and Kidco (1984). Though he downplayed the connection to his famous dad when starting out, father and son have recently directly collaborated on a few projects, including a “Godspell” tour and a musical of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” which Scott Schwartz directed. “When I was a kid, I was exposed to music all the time and I have very fond memories of hearing my father write some of his most famous songs.”Īfter a brief fling with the idea of being an actor, Scott pivoted to directing in high school and went to Harvard University, where he fell for the avant-garde offerings at the university’s American Repertory Theater. ![]() Scott grew up listening as his father filled the house with music.

Scott, 41, who directed “Golda’s Balcony” and the musical “Jane Eyre” on Broadway, said he likes getting such feedback. “What I will say is, ‘I didn’t understand such-and-such’ or ‘You lost me at this point.’” “It’s not as if I’ll say, ‘You should do this’ because that’s not actually very useful,” said the father.
