So lately I've been wanting to write a show and I've just been given that boost of inspiration per say. Now I'm not saying I'm going to make it Broadway I'm just writing. So far. Tell me what you think. It's a about a Broadway alumni who once had it all and is now struggling to get it back. Tell me what you think...so far..btw its all been copyrighted.
Please keep in mind this is VERY early in the creative process.

(As the lights come up on the stage the streets of NYC come to life on stage left. We see the stage door of a Broadway theatre, fans surrounding the barricades waiting to get a autograph, a picture anything from the latest Broadway star. Stage right you need your “normal New Yorker” pushing the crowd trying to get to his train)
Ryan Hower
Excuse me! Excuse me! Can you get out of the way? Trust me they aren’t that special. Excuse me. Watch the coffee! Watch the coffee!(While pushing through the crowd he drops his iPod on street cracking the screen) Are you freaking kidding me? This is freaking ridiculous. (Grabs the iPod off the street and then looks out to the audience. With looking out into the audience you hear a ding and the crazed fans,etc freeze)
You are probably thinking I’m just another New York ****but I’ve got my reasons for being disgruntled. You see that use to be me. I played 8 shows a week, there in that same theatre, it was an honor to even step foot on the stage of the Palace. Created an original Broadway role. When through the life of press that comes along with opening a new show. Did the View, GMA, Today show, all the big morning spots. Red carpets, parties the whole 10 yards. Went on to win a TONY. But that was just the beginning
(Blackout- You hear in the darkness why the stage is being changed “And the winner for Best Leading Actor goes to Ryan Hower”—you hear the crowd go wild. Scene comes up and you see a sing in the background displaying “Congrats Winners”—you can tell it’s the TONY after party. Stars upon stars are at Sardi’s partying the night away. You see Ryan and boyfriend mingling when someone walks up)
Reporter
Ryan, maybe a few questions?
Ryan
Sure no problem anything for the fans.
Reporter
First off who’s the date?
Ryan
Long time boyfriend Jansen.
Reporter
How’s it feel to win a TONY in your first Broadway show ever.
Ryan
Oh it’s nothing. Just spread word to Ms.McDonald I plan to shatter her record. (Takes sip of his sophisticated martini)
