His first musical, Greenwood, which was written with Adam LeBow, debuted at the 2011 New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF). His second musical, Stealing Time, written with Lisa Rothauser, is now being developed for Broadway and has appeared at the Emerging Artists Theatre and the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival.

In 2005, Hyams developed and presented the children's music festival, Kidzapalooza, with Perry Farrell at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. In 2009 Kidzapalooza was a stand-alone festival at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, again produced by Hyams and Farrell.[3] Kidzapalooza has run for six years with Hyams as producer and emcee. It will continue to at least 2015 and has spawned Kidzapalooza Radio on Sirius/XM and a compilation album.

It received accolades from the HBO Comedy Festival and the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival Audience Award and received official selection at 16 film festivals, both in the USA and overseas.[7] The group has since made several TV appearances and radio broadcasts, including Fox TV LA and Good Day New York. Their second album Hip Hop Fantasy was released in July 2009.
