Hi to everyone who reads this.

I have finally finished writing my own 3 act musical, and it is in my belief, ready to send out to people that would like to perform it. As the Irishman once said "before I start speaking there is something I want to say".

Cost: $20 per production, scripts available free, if you call me on 0403328830, to give me an address to send them to.

Synopsis: A young dyslexic man, with a talent for drawing, applies for a job, and finds the woman of his dreams. The afore mentioned woman doesn't come without problems, number one being the jealous ex, who works at the same place as her.

Characters (stage ages):

Luc Cromwell — 23
Ashleigh Milligan — 22
Mike Lyster — 25
Alexander Carson — 50-55
Madeleine Knight — 45-50
Sarah Anderson — 22-23
Fiorenza — 40ish
Tony — 45ish

Extras
Carson’s receptionist — 25-40 year old woman (can also be restaurant patron or officeworker)
Police officers’ (x2) — 20-50 (stage ages) both male characters, one older one younger — Audition (younger officer can be played by a woman)
Game-show host (Act 2 only) — 25-35 man

What would you say is the theme or message of the play?

What style of musical is it? Have you written music, or just lyrics?

How long is the play, and why three acts? Does this mean two intervals or can the three acts still be split into two halves?

What is the smallest cast you could put the show on with (ie with doubling up of minor roles) ? You have almost 30 characters, but could it be done with no more than 10?


And just for argument's sake; If someone read your play and understood it for the first time, would that also mean it can't be much good...?


Cheers,
Craig
