The stage musical features Szpilman's compositions set to new lyrics by two-time Grammy nominee Carol Connors, David Batteau, Wendy Lands, Jim Gillard, Grammy nominee Michael Ruff, Szpilman’s son Andreas Szpilman, and Marcy Heisler.

The Pianist also has new arrangements, musical supervision, and orchestrations by Simon Lee; choreography and movement direction by Karen Bruce; set and video design by Andrzej Goulding; lighting design by Robbie Butler; sound design by Gareth Tucker for Autograph Sound; costume design by Jonathan Lipman; and musical direction by Malcolm Forbes-Peckham. Thom Southerland adapts and directs The Pianist.
