Cultivating cool musicals
This may come as a surprise, but not all musicals have to be huge in scope, nor razzle dazzle in tone. They also don’t have to be commercially-minded, aiming for Broadway.
Perennial Workshop exists to develop and present more intimate chamber musicals with smaller casts. Staged readings will be presented around Los Angeles in the spring of each year.
Bernadette Peters and Stephen Sondheim working on a cool musical, Sunday in the Park with George
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim collaborated on three incredibly cool musicals; Lapine wrote the book and directed, while Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics to Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and Passion.
