| I'm glad you took the plunge first, Michael. ;-) This may be a very well-meaning project, but from the very very little I can find on it online (already a bad sign), this sounds like one sole person's dream of getting to write (and produce) their own "NYC's Broadway" musical, and I'd be surprised indeed if it actually happens. I even found a kickstarter page for the show, from last June, where she was only able to raise $649 on a goal of around $19,500. She's a UK pianist/piano teacher who is producing, promoting, and writing this Broadway-sized dream, seemingly all on her own. On the kickstarter page, she's even hawking supposed show t-shirts and yes, "soundtracks." I'm sure she's a wonderful lady. But she's going to need a lot more backing in all ways if she even wants to get a simple reading done. I tend to think she really doesn't know how to do this. But it's great to have a dream, and if the show does develop, I hope it brings her joy. Though I do have to say, this quote from the press release - "It's time to pay homage to the man and his music" - really gets me. Does she really think Gershwin and his music haven't been paid homage many times over? On Broadway yet - even NYC's Broadway lol? - Not to say more homage isn't great - but - "it's time"??? ;-) |
