Watching musical theater is dreamlike. How about being part of it? This month I wrote my first song for a Broadway style musical theater play. It was challenging and very rewarding to see the author smiling as he listened to it. One song approved, 24 to go. I hope audiences have the same reaction when they hear and see the song being performed by actors who will be wearing unusual handcrafted costume, moving around a fully decorated stage, with exceptional lighting, on a big theater packed with a paying crowd that decided to deposit their hard-earned money at the box office after being attracted by a huge advertising and promotion campaign… PHEW! This is the yellow brick road to Broadway. And this isn't half of the hard work and huge structure required to make a musical show to happen.
