Ten Reasons: a Musical Journey

Wow. I mean total wow. Last night I went to see Composer/Lyricist Bobby Cronin (who contributed two songs to date for our show. Yay!) at the Metropolitan Room. First of all, he's brilliant and writes such great material. Second, it was the first time I've met/seen him in person and he's just a joy of a person. So very positive and kind and passionate about what he does. I think that's important in this business. To have passion can push you when you can't find any other reason to do this stuff.

In any case, I went with a friend to see the show and support Bobby and his work, and he had his talented cast perform the two songs he's written for the show so far. The rush I got when actually hearing material performed that will actually be in my show and accompany the book what I wrote was euphoric. I mean, I was tingling from head to toe! These SONGS would be in MY SHOW!!! EEEeeeeee! The performers were awesome and it was just cool. It was the first time that I saw the show's name in print, too. Shivers! Bobby also listed me in the special thanks section as the book writer for the show. So very special! My heart was full and it put me in the best mind frame to progress with this next time period for the show...when we deal less with the creative and more with the "How do we spread the word?" part. The good news is that after the performance last night people from the audience (who saw me wave when Bobby gave me a shout out in the audience!) came up to me genuinely interested in getting more info about the show. They wanted to see it. Um, EXCITING!!!

Like I said, it was really nice, because lately I've been feeling really isolated dealing with the part of the process that is more coordinating and less creative. Switching back to creative, we're meeting today to talk about the Next Things. I'm looking forward to it.

Saturday we rehearse for our reading (with MUSIC!) that will be on April 6th. Details to follow. I'm on cloud nine.
