god I hope not. We need musicals that are decently written and not penned in one evening by some hack.

you hope that there are no new musicals by british writers or no new small scale ones?

Personally i would love to see more small scale stuff in the uk. New York has such a great choice of shows Off- Broadway but in the UK we seem to think of Fringe or off west end theatres as only a spring board.

Smaller scale musicals have less investment which means they have the chance to be more creative and artistic. Granted thats not always the case but its not with commercial musicals either

Bruce why the heck would being small scale mean it is written by some sort of hack?! There is some excellent brit work around at the moment, I personally love the work of Grant Olding

Sure - I know people have mentioned "Enchanted" which is coming to a theatre in Covent Garden, but bizarrely there's also another musical called Enchanted which is premiering this summer - I'm the co-writer and I'm amazed to see another show with the same titled opening within a month of ours!

If you want details of our show, take a look at www.enchantedthemusical.co.uk - there's a synopsis of the show, some audio clips and other information up there.

Regarding the 'London Enchanted'

hey, yeah i saw a workshop of the production and its brilliant i really loved it. You can contact the team of the other enchanted (lol) at www.enchantedthemusical.com they have recentkly set up a forum and i emailed them. They said there currently doing a shoot for press pictures etc and hopfully a fuller site will be up soon. You can contact them on there.

The musical is all about how there are two worlds the natural and the supernatural and you have a counterpart in each world (i think theyre going for a fun play on the wizard of oz thing)

i cant remember all the names and stuff but basically a prince from the supernatural world gets swapped over with his counterpart in our world who is a soap opera actor. theres a prophecy that basically says that a hero and a great queen from the natural (real) world will save him......its a struggling writer and his gay roomate (great queen) who fufill the prophecy!

The show centres around them as they set out through the kingdom.

There are loads of cool characters along the way ( a disembodied head for one!)

Its very very funny
