Tue, 12 Oct 2004, 09:50 pmHi 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
“Luck of the Draw” Judges (x3) — 20-50 men, women or mixed

Nice pun on 'arrangements', but it begs this question...does this mean each character must be able to sing in a particular range? That's possibly something you need to stipulate to anyone who takes it on board, so they know they'll need to cast a soprano, two tenors, eight female basses, etc.
I'm not saying that using existing music can't be done...I myself have been in a musical that consisted entirely of well-known published rock songs; it was simply something else to consider - permission needed to be sought to include these songs in the first place, and then every public performance required us to pay a royalty fee to APRA on behalf of the publishers.
Cheers,
Craig
