I am raising 300k for my musical "Pearl and the Pumpkin" based on writings by the creators of "The Wizard of Oz".

My musical "Pearl and the Pumpkin" is based on the writings of W. W. Denslow and L. Frank Baum. Why should this interest you? Because another musical "Wicked" by Stephen Schwartz has now earned over a BILLION and a half dollars! It is the biggest grossing musical in history. I think with the proper people and attention to detail that my musical could do just as well! "Pearl and the Pumpkin" was years in development. It is based on the Denslow and West book "The Pearl and the Pumpkin".  Published in 1904 the book was turned into a successful Broadway musical and later toured the Country.  I realized that I would have to update much of the story and I also added all new music. The music has both spooky songs for Halloween and also some Calypso music as the crew is headed to Denslow Island Bermuda. We performed the show at Red Rock Theater near Denver and also at The Dramatists Guild in NYC of which I am a member. People loved the show and it received some fantastic reviews. I later made a CD of the music and the song "It's Halloween Tonight" has become a perennial favorite.
As you know mounting a Broadway show or filming one requires a lot of people and moving parts. The funds would be used to get together the qualified cast and crew. I worked with Erich Rausch on the show who is a very talented music director. He's done a number of different shows and has a real ear for vocal harmonies. He would be great in this area as he lives in New York City and knows a lot of the talent there.
There is also a big potential for spin off character tee shirts, Halloween costumes etc. The show is aimed at children, but adults will also get a thrill from it. Think of The Pirates of Penzance meet The Wizard of Oz. Lots of nautical humor and jokes and dancing. Even an underwater ballet!
My credentials are: A Graduate of B.U., Member of The Dramatists Guild, Member of the New England Poetry Society, Member of ASCAP.
