Hello darquegkFirst off, it’s quite an accomplishment to have an Off-Broadway show. You must be incredibly proud.Now, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your comprehensive post. Every one who has posted on this thread has been so giving of their time and advice. This is a great community. There’s so much to digest. I see I’m at the bottom rung and just need to stop chasing producers.Your show, in 2023, does not need to be on Broadway or Off-Broadway. It does not need to look good. Quite f...

Hello DooWahDiddyDooWahDiddy said: "You'll forgive me, but it sounds like you're rather green in this industry. So some of what I say might be hard to hear, but I'm only trying to help.” If you change “rather” to “incredibly” you’d be far more accurate. And I sincerely appreciate you making the effort to help."Green Gally Rose is a full production and I think too ambitious for an indie group. It’s primarily female driven." I'm not sure I understand this. Why is it too ambitious? Because it's ...

Hello Fan123 and thank you for the response.Fan123 said: "it seems that a lot of creators who break through and get major companies interested in their work, have already established themselves in a smaller/less prestigious part of the scene."Green Gally Rose is a full production and I think too ambitious for an indie group. It’s primarily female driven (six female singing/speaking parts, two male singing/speaking parts)Fan123 said: "if you developed relationships with some ambitious but less...

“You can't make theatre digitally”…now that’s some sage advice.Do you think South Jersey is so off the beaten path that the only way to get my foot in the door is being in New York?I’ve read about musicals that are developed from basic concept to completion by theater companies who have faith in the project. That's been a dead end as well.There are investors out there who would love to bring something new to Broadway. There’s an investment group (name escapes me) who I contacted, and as you c...

Hey HogansHero,First off, thank you for the response. You are correct, Green Gally Rose has not been produced. I’ve written 21 songs and I’ve written the script. I’ve also written a play, a comedy and have the same problem with getting any responses. Apparently, I’m not so good at creating relationships as you suggest.I’m based in South Jersey. I’ve written songs for years along with screenplays…again with no luck. I’ve always loved writing and I wanted to test myself in writing for the stage...

As someone who is trying to get my original musical comedy Green Gally Rose into the hands of a producer… See thread: https://www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=1153611I can honestly say from the dozens and dozens of emails I’ve sent out, I’ve only gotten a couple of responses. Maybe I should have started with an existing story.Whether it’s MJ, Tina, Back to the Future or MacGyver, it seems to be the trend to produce something people are familiar with that will get them in the...

Is any attempt to have an original musical comedy produced just futile? It seems new musicals are based on either a famous personality or a movie or tv show.

I could sure use some advice for getting my musical comedy Green Gally Rose in the hands of someone who can help/produce or guide me.Green Gally Rose tells the story about the rise and fall of Rose: a saloon singer who nefariously “loses” her voice and job thanks to a bitter old rival and a young upstart singer. With a new love, Rose battles her way to get back on the stage to sing one last time with the help of the most unlikeliest of allies.Green Gally Rose has elements of hope, envy, redem...

BigFatBlonde, Thank you so much for the link, I'll order it tonight...

SueleenGay, If you post your email or "PM" me your infomation, I'll be happy to send you my play in .pdf format... Thank you for the opportunity.

Thank you for such a positive response. It was so much more encouraging than the previous post which consisted of "hahaha". Thank you again Taryn

I've written a three act comedy called "The Late Great Me", and I'm having difficulty getting it read. It seems every time I try to contact a theater troupe I get no responses. I generally write screenplays and this is the first play I've written. Can anyone point me to where I can get my play read and hopefully produced? Also, would posting this message in the other forums be beneficial? Thank you for all your help, Sal
