Ditch Standard Song Forms & Tell YOUR Musical Story

/

Standard song forms are great - they provide us with tried-and-true ways to write character, develop plot, and write our musicals succinctly. But they aren’t always the most interesting forms, especially when every song in the show follows the same few structures over and over and over…

What Makes a Musical a SUCCESS (vs a Failure or Flop)?

/

With phrases like “A hit!” “A flop!” “Rave reviews” “Totally panned” “Recouped its investment” and “Closing in the red”…it gets really difficult to parse out what makes a musical a “success” or a “failure.”

So, how can we sort this out?

What Is A Musical (And What Isn’t)?

/

What defines a musical? Where do we draw the lines between other forms, like concerts, cabarets, dance pieces, revues, operas and operettas??

How can we sort out the mess, so you clearly know what exactly it is that you’re writing?
