Waiting no more
I wrote a play a long time ago, and now it's being produced again. Except it's completely different, I rewrote the whole damn thing and it's much better. I'd love to post the songs but the demos are too rough. On big numbers I am singing every single part because I recorded it all myself in my dungeon studio. Do you know what it sounds like when I sing 12 different parts? It kinda sounds like Satan after a while. So, no. No songs for you. When the show goes up I'll get a cast recording,
Playwriting is insane. And wonderful. I have to give up a lot of control and sometimes it's a huge thrill to see them do something different, but better, with the words I chose. Sometimes I want to run away and change my name because what I thought was so funny is just a bore, and it's my fault. Usually it's somewhere in between those two.
It's made me write songs on a deadline. It's made me write: a typical theatre song, a poppy theatre song, a couple of touching ballads, an anthem of redemption that makes me cry, a hip-hop song with rap (I know right?), a spoken word song with percussion and movement, a slinky jazz song, a splashy tap dance number, and more theatre songs. It's been fun and exhausting and rehearsal started today.
