NAMT updates!

berresseJulia and I are thrilled to be working with Michael Berresse on the NAMT Festival presentation of The Loneliest Girl in the World!

After seeing him perform onstage in A Chorus Line and The Light in the Piazza, I first encountered Michael’s directing on Broadway with [title of show], but I was also lucky enough to travel up to Weston, VT to see his beautiful 2013 production of Next to Normal with Heidi Blickenstaff and Margo Seibert. The production was so sensitive and deeply felt, and a complete departure from the original. In addition to being the best sung version I’ve ever seen, it convinced me just how beautiful the color grey can be!

Read about all the creative teams, and don’t forget to mark your calendars!

Mark your calendars for October 27 & 28, 2016. We’ll be sharing the first 45 minutes of the show! And we’re lucky to do it alongside so many wonderful friends like Mindi Dickstein & Kirsten Guenther (Benny & Joon), Brett Ryback (Joe Schmoe Saves the World), and Scotty Arnold & Alana Jacoby (Mortality Play.)

Be on the lookout for more information over the next few months!

Stop! Demo time.

Here they are!  Huge thanks to our wonderful engineer Reed Taylor for all of these wonderful tracks.  And thanks to all the talented folks who came into the studio with us: MD Rich Silverstein; musicians Ian Axness, Eric Day, Danny Jonokuchi, Jeremy Yaddaw, and Andrew Zinsmeister; and singers Ally Bonino, Liz Carbonell, Max Chernin, Charles Franklin, Sam Heldt, Brad Standley, and Lauren Worsham.

Hear all of the tracks in story order with the rest of our demos on their WORKS pages!

The demos are coming! The demos are coming!

Julia and I are back in the studio to record some new tracks for I Love You, Anita Bryant and Something Blue.  We’re recording 14 tracks with some of our very favorite people, and it’s been a blast so far!  The new tracks should be available and posted in mid-September, so keep an eye (ear?) out.
