Hello,
I'm the book writer, lyricist, director, and producer of "Virginia City, a new musical," which premieres next month at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The music is composed by my brother, Daniel Wisehart.
"Virginia City" is a new musical about finding your voice.
A young drifter named Sam Clemens lands a job as a reporter in an old west mining town. Inspired by a visit from scandalous showgirl Adah Isaacs Menken, Sam finds his voice and becomes Mark Twain.
If you'd like to follow the development of this show, check us out on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VirginiaCityANewMusical
Thanks!
David Wisehart

The old TV show "Bonanza" was set in and around Virginia City at the same time.

It's uncanny how many people find their voice after a visit from a scandalous showgirl.

Thanks, sephyr!
I've posted some rehearsal tracks on the facebook page to give you a sense of the music, and I hope to have video up soon of the actors singing a few of the songs. They're learning the numbers now, and my brother and I are still rewriting. I've done a lot of plays, and written the libretto for an opera, but this is our first musical. It's very exciting. :)
Thanks again for following us on our journey!
