MTI Show Support: how do we get listed on the 1776 the musical web site

Hi Susie,

At the bottom of their "now showing" page, the list a link to our website's listing of upcoming productions (From our main 1776 page -- http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000066 -- click on the "Upcoming" tab).

I see your production listed on our site's list of upcoming productions, so anyone who's tuned into that list should have quick access to your production's information.

To contact the official 1776 site operators directly about their listings, they list an email address toward the bottom of the homepage, http://1776themusical.us/index.htm .

I hope this helps.

All the Best,

Richard Patterson

MTI Show Support: Show ideas help

HI Connie! Bugsy JR is unique for alot of reasons.  It has period historical roots...no better way to get kids interested in that 1929 period of history, as juicy as it was, than to give them age appropriate characters that are SO MUCH FUN.  Reason #2, Paul Williams wrote the score...delicious! The 1973 film was such a hit, that The National Youth Music Theater in London performed the stage versionin 1999 and a JR version was released that year.

 A GREAT show for boys, but if you have the typical droves of girls, they love playing gangsters as much as Tallulah's girls.  Great ensemble numbers, and the "splurge gimmik" is as fresh with audiences as it is with middle school kids. This show is a great contrast for many of the others in our collection and worth a look Connie.  Trivia of the day?  Jodie Foster was in the original film..ha!

MTI Show Support: Once On This Island Junior

Hi Laurie!  Great question, and I have a few thoughts for you.  Is the grades 2-4 your primary and only audience?  Once On This Island JR most likely will be one of your favorite shows when all is said and done. It deals with heavier subject matter as you know, but done respectfully to the story as well as age appropriate for performers.  Kids LOVE this show because the drama seems real to them, nothing cheesy about it.  The music is challenging and "sung through", words and staging have to be clear to follow the story. Younger audiences may not fully comprehend the story, the issues of class distinction etc., but theylove the dramatic contrasts, the dancing, the Bahamian feel to the music and the story telling theme and the general "arc"of the show. Nothing is eluded about Daniel and Ti MOune except that she takes care of him, the car accident is artistically and tasefully told etc.  Take a look at the JR version  with a perusal, or am happy to chat through and send you specific sections you have concerns with.  We just completed the new versions of these classics and am happy to share thoughts with you.  Pianocar88@mac.com       Cindy
