It always amazes me just how
much time and effort go into
producing a new musical. I know
you’ve acted in many musicals,
but did the behind-the-scenes
things needed before a full
production run surprise you? I
mean, you blink an eye and it’s
been 8 years since the play was
first written.
Ugh. Producing is not for the
faint of heart, but with each read-
ing/presentation/Funk-Raiser I
feel more and more comfortable
with the tasks at hand. That said,
NJ STAGE 2017 - Vol. 4 No. 7
I’m usually in a constant state
of nausea for about 4-6 weeks
prior to any event. However,
thanks to the enthusiasm for the
piece, which just gets stronger
and stronger, I keep muscling on.
(I’m a Cancer. We’re tenacious.)
While we haven’t had a full pro-
duction run yet, our hope is to
get 54 - The Musical into a work-
shop production here in Asbury
Park directly after the event to
capitalize on the 40th anniver-
sary of Studio 54 and then bring
it to Broadway.
