The Struggle is real–We've been there
We know it takes time to search for a quality musical, because we’ve been in your shoes when we directed musicals ourselves. And we’ve also commiserated with fellow directors at the grueling task that you’re facing right now—making the perfect selection for this year’s musical. This isn’t something to be decided and bought on a whim. Finding something that is well-written and fits your cast is about as easy as finding that misplaced prop you need for the next scene.
You’ve probably been scouring the internet in hopeful anticipation for that perfect fit. You know, the script with witty, memorable dialogue prompting laughter from the crowd. You want rich harmonies and memorable melodies. You won't give up until you find the musical that inspires you, that makes you eager to get started on blocking and choreography right away.
