Ever since our first off-Broadway musical, The Last Session, opened in 1997 I've tried to find new and creative ways to use the Internet to (I admit) promote our work. Back then, the Internet was young and few people were learning how to use it. I set what turned out to be a landmark idea: a diary/blog. It was, in fact, the first blog ever created for a theatrical production (that I know of).
This time around, as we prepare to open on Nov. 30th at a brand new off-Broadway theatre on 47th Street, I thought it might be fun to do something else I've never heard of anyone doing before: I'm releasing, for free personal use, a copy of the entire score. My goal is to get people singing my songs, of course.
(Last week, I debuted our big love ballad, "How Do You Fall Back In Love?" at a singer/composer salon run by musical director, Mark Janas, at the Rouge Wine Bar down in the Village. Several singers in the room asked me if the could learn the number and perform it around town. I was very honored that they asked -- and Jim and I are going to be back there this Sunday night around 9:30 or so.)
So, for anyone here who is a singer or a musical director. Or perhaps you're looking for new song or two for auditions, you can go to the link below and freely download either the entire score or just individual songs. The most "celebrated" song, critically, in the several years we've been doing the show around the country is the aforementioned "How Do You Fall," but "Beyond The Light" is a good blues number. The songs are either in pdf or Word format.
Enjoy! And let me know what you think! (Also, a few of the words are show-specific, so if you want me to change a few of them for more general purposes, let me know.)
You can HEAR several of the songs at http://thebigvoice.com/music.
