And if so, how did you deal with the music?
This musical has been proposed for Huon Valley Theatre, but on receiving the score, our Musical Director has said that the score is impossible to work with. It is small, cramped and nearly illegible.
On contacting the agent, the Director was informed rthat that was all there is.
I haven't had the opportunity to look at the score myself yet . . . so I am only going on what I've been told.
Does this experience sound familiar with anyone?
I had a copy of the score
Thu, 4 Feb 2010, 06:12 amI had a copy of the score on perusal a couple of years ago. The Script was typed, although from memory the lyrics of the songs were missing.
The score was handwritten, and in short form - just a melody line, lyrics and chord names with an indication of the accomp style. The rehearsal pianist would be required to interpolate from that.
I believe that the performance material is better, but you might like to contact The Genesian Theatre Company in Sydney (I saw there production a couple of years ago) for their view.
