I visited their official website and read the synopsis on the hompage.
HOLY SH*T!!!!!
A musical that I am writing in EXACTLY LIKE THIS!! I've been working on it for MONTHS but now I find that its useless to continue!
In my musical, the female lead's mother dies in the end of Act One. It begins with her at 11, then late 20's, then act two she is in her '40s, and at the end her '60's.
At the end of Act Two, her former selves join her on stage and they sing a song.
NOW WHAT? My work is GOOD! The songs I wrote even made my mother cry - who never does.
In the words of Henry Higgins: DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!
[BUT - congratulations to Scott Alan for also coming up with idea. He obviously thought of it before me, and it seems like a good show. "Never Neverland" is a wonderful, lovely song.]
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 12/9/04 at 1:41pmthe same thing happened to a professor of mine. he had been working on a version of The Visit for ten years and than Kander and Ebb produced their show. Hey, you could always keep working on it. There are 2 Phantoms after all and the second one is the big hit, while the first keeps going regionally, so you both could make money.

Have you registered the work at Writers Guild of America? I would suggest the US Lib. of Congress, but they move much slower. If you have it registered there before any press notices or anything else came out before "Piece". You should be ok. I hate to hear that.
Post this message at a playwrighting board that I visit a lot, you may find people with similar experiences who can tell you what they did. http://www.stageplays.com/thread/default.asp

My play isn't finished yet. A few scenes still to write and others to work out. And I only have three songs completely written (still need a composer).
So, it won't be finished for some time.
Still, not sure if it is the same play. Will have to see.
