Exciting developments for me & my show!!!

Tj@themusicals · Exciting developments for me & my show!!!

Hi all, I'm not sure if you know, but I have been working on my own musical for the past 2 years. This Saturday, I am holding nationwide auditions in the UK for the shortlisted applicants to find the voices for the 2 leading roles! The successful pair will then record the cast album and we hope to then take the show to the fringes of the West End with the aid of sponsorship and funding we attain off the back of the CD!

I'm so excited, the majority of the applicants have blown me away already, and that is just via CD.

Anyway, sorry if it's not overly relevant to anyone else, but I can't wait!

And good luck.

Tj@themusicals

Most definitely! Feel free to send one. In fact, if you can do it today, to:
after.the.turn@googlemail.com then I can get it processed straight away. Is that possible?

OMG!!! Wow!

What's your musical called? I didn't realise you had been working on one. Tell me a bit about it please?

Tj@themusicals

I'm tring not to give too much away at the moment, but below is a brief synopsis without giving away the major twists!

"AFTER THE TURN" - SYNOPSIS
"After the Turn" is musical about grief, guilt, self discovery, love - and music!

Michael Brookman is a 21 year old highly gifted musician with serious emotional and psychological problems who four years ago witnessed the hit-and-run accident that killed his mother. Having been brought up by his mother, Amanda, since the age of 9 following her divorce from his abusive father, Michael was devoted to and emotionally dependant upon his mother. His devastation at her loss was further exaggerated by his deep sense of guilt because the last time he had seen her before she was killed he had a serious quarrel with her. In the four years since her death, he has suffered from severe depression, has been unable to face the trauma of going outside and has not spoken a word. He communicates only by typing his words on a lap-top. (His words are spoken and sung for the dramatic purposes of the musical by the character of Michael’s teenage self, who appears on an upper level, overlooking the main action below.)

Lauren Danner is a 23 year old nurse, dedicated and caring and - at least on the surface - bright and strong-willed. The musical begins with her arrival at Michael’s apartment in New York city - escorted by her employer and Michael’s psychiatrist, Doctor Black - as she commences her duties as Michael’s carer - a job she personally requested and is totally committed to.

The story of Michael’s past is gradually revealed through a series of flashbacks as the primary plot-line reveals the development of the relationship between Michael and Lauren. At first Michael is totally hostile until gradually he begins to accept Lauren first as his nurse and later as his friend. Eventually, through a series of disturbing and heart-breaking plot twists, as both Michael and Lauren learn to face their individual fears and hang-ups, they begin to discover the meaning of love.

Sounds good.

When the demo CD's recorded, please post a couple of the major songs? So we can get a "feel" for it.

Tj@themusicals

There will be a My Space page set up for the show in the not too distant future!

So please, add me on My Space and leave me some love, this is a massive project I'm undertaking, and your support would be awesome.
