Coming Soon:

“Just Believe...a really, really, REALLY
True Story of The Sandman”
- a new musical

Book by ALBERT J. KALLIS
Based on a story by ALBERT J. KALLIS and RICHARD WILLIAMS

Music and lyrics by DOUGLAS GOODWIN

Soon to become a new American Classic, "Just Believe" is a wonderful fable - the story of Wee Willie Winkie, Morpheus, and The Sandman as they journey from The Land of Nod to earth.

The songs are as beautiful as those in The Wizard of Oz and Mary Poppins, and the story is as timeless as dreamland itself.

 

“Peggy Sue Got Married”
- a new musical

Book by ARLENE SARNER & JERRY LEICHTLING

Music by BOB GAUDIO

Lyrics by JERRY LEICHTLING

Based on the hit Francis Ford Coppola film, and written by the film's authors, "Peggy Sue" poses the eternal question, "what would you change if you could go back in time?"

With original songs by Bob "Jersey Boys" Gaudio, "Peggy Sue" takes us back to the stylish 60's in a passionate story of love, family, and the choices we make.

 

“Brenda Starr”
- a new musical

Brenda Starr, created in 1940, was the first of the beautiful, empowered young women who still combines a career with glamour, intrigue and romance for contemporary audiences. Years before Mary Tyler Moore’s Mary Richards and Marlo Thomas’ Ann Marie in “That Girl”, Brenda Starr’s adventures, if not a realistic portrayal of a reporter’s life, have nevertheless captured the imagination of millions of readers.
A combination of glamour, mystery, danger, intrigue, big-time crooks and headline villains continues to keeps the strip fresh and gutsy. Brenda spends little of her time in the newsroom and most of it on assignment, which can take her anywhere in the world—and already has.

Brenda Starr is a musical for the Legally Blond audience - young, empowered young women…and their mothers – a great demographic.

"Show Business"
-a new musical

Book by Sam Denoff

“Show Business” takes a slightly cynical look at the transformation of a simple romantic comedy from charming play to Hollywood film to Broadway musical and then the virtual world. It also explores the transformation of the author as his work is also transformed.

"I have always been fascinated by the metamorphoses that often occur when a stage play, after its successful Broadway run, is bought by a motion picture company, re-written and re-cast and translated into a film. If the film works, then two years later the musical appears, again going through the necessary creative transformations." - Sam Denoff

"Show Business" explores this whole process in one night.

The audience sees a charming one-act play…then the Hollywood-produced film of the play, and then the musical of the film of the play…and finally, in todays virtual world they can download a podcast

"Broom Hilda"
- a new musical

Based on the long-running comic strip by Russell Myers, this family musical has the excitement and innocence to attract 10-15 year old children, but with enough with and gentle double-entendres to keep mom and dad entertained..
Living in an enchanted forest with surrealistic landscapes, the engaging characters of Broom-Hilda happily have no connection with reality. Other comic characters are extensions or distortions of reality, but Broom-Hilda deals in pure fantasy, making the strip bewitchingly unique. Here in the forest, the inhabitants maintain a standard of madness where total irrelevance is the only relevancy.

"The E-Line "
-a new comedy

Book by Douglas Denoff

The lives of three New Yorkers hilariously intersect in this new farce. Three apartments, all in the same 'line' of a Manhattan apartment building, are the setting for love and laughter.
