Hello Musical lovers....

I am new to this board but wanted to say "hey" and share some exciting info on a new musical album that is being released.

I am a theatre composer and my new musical, Bluebird, will be released as a 24 track album on Monday 14th September 2009.

After months of work, this new album is in the final stages of mixing. I am really pleased with the outcome and feel honoured and extremely lucky to have worked with some of the best talend in Musical Theatre. This is also the first 'musical show' album that has Ramin on - that has been released.

The album is now avaliable for pre-order at Dress Circle and there will hopefully be a signing later in the year. I will keep you posted on the final stages of this project and hope you will consider buying this NEW piece of BRITISH musical theatre. The album now joins it's big Sister, ESCAPE, on the DC shelves. Those of you who enjoyed that show, will hopefully love this one even more.

Please take a look and see what you think....better still, buy a copy and take a listen.

Congrats! It's great to see a new musical.

My wife and I recently completed an original new musical "Destiny" and have also released the new CD (studio cast) here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/beattykline
My wife Christine and here mother Cecilia are the composers/musicians.
We are in the process of having the concert version performed on Oct. 2nd and hope to get the musical produced. Joel Froomkin was interested in the script years ago, but his agent talked him out of it. So we spent the last 6 years polishing out the "green".

I'll have to check out Bluebird when it's released. Be sure to listen to Destiny as well!

P.S. The "sound of music" in Germany picked up Destiny days after it's release. They don't waste any time do they?
