WANTED: composer for collaboration on musical
Wed, 9 May 2001, 11:45 pmhey i posted before but i'm really, really keen to find musical composers who would be interested in working with me on a musical in which the libretto has already been wirtten.
The show's called REDLIGHT and it chronicles the lives of a group of sex workers in a red light district in New York City circa. present day. It's style is alike RENT, CABARET, TOMMY and FALSETTOS.
JC is the principal male lead and the pimp who regrets his life and the outcome of it but figures there was no other alternative. He looks after his ladies of the night in an abandonded warehouse just by the red light area.
Roxy is one of the girls and she is the main female lead and possibly the protagonist. She is best friends with an older sex worker who is dying of AIDS and wishes Roxy will one day find happiness of her own. You see, Roxy is unlike alot of the other girls, she is too caring and too giving and has never stopped to care for her own self. This has restricted her from some kindof happiness and from falling in love.
That's untill she meets runaway teen Billy (who calls himself Billy the Kid) who instantly falls in love with Roxy. She needs him to feel alive, he needs her to close up his sad, desperate and lonely life. Billy is a manic depressive, though he never speaks of it, and his life has become so heart breakingly empty that he wishes to die.
I can tell you more but I think I'l leave that up to you to e-mail me or contact me about it.
But anyways, a musical composer would be brillaint, collaboration will be fantastic and workshopping and final product will be a dream come true.
Thank you

Hi,
Yes, I'm a composer looking for a libretto to meet...
I've been involved as a musical director, all styles from rock to classical and blues. I'm a keyboard player and currently a member of the Fellowship of Australian Composers.
I liked your story but is there any interest or backing for its production? Please contact me if you would like to talk more...
Regards
Spiro
