Ok, it is safe to say that Yolanda and I are officially excited. And terrified. And Feaked Out, but mostly excited.
The performance of our song WANTED on London's West End was a huge success and we are riding rainbows. Then it strikes us - 159 days until Opening Night!!!!!!! (This is where the freaked out/terrified part comes in).
PANAMÁ: THE MUSICAL has taken on a life of its own. Director Aaron Zebede has selecected his music director: Pepe Casis.
Robert McQueen begins his Dramaturgy soon, and David Warrack is completing the lead sheets for the music with Yolanda and Tara.
Bruce Johnson is designing our website and investors packages (due to launch within two weeks).
COPA Airlines has created a special discount code for people attending our opening night on Feb 1, 2018
AC Hotel Marriott has a special 6 night package for the same nights. (rates and codes will be announced next week)
Auditions for the main cast are now set for Oct 8th & 9th in Panama City (location TBA).
Aaron Zebede will run the auditions with Yolanda and I sitting in. Robert McQueen and David Warrack will both be on hand for the auditons.
We are working with OYE TV (MEDCOM) on the SEARCHING FOR A MELODY tv talent search show to be aired late October. Contestants will submit one song IN ENGLISH by cellphone. 10 semi-finalists will be selected to compete on-air. Two contestants (who appear to be around 13 years old) will win paid acting roles in our show (principal and understudy).
Rehersals begin Nov 1, 2017.
Ok, so it is more excited than freaked out - but we are both bolting upright, wide awake at 3 AM with thoughts of things we need to add to the rapidly growing "TO DO" lists.
Is this what they mean when the say "Be Careful What You Wish For?" We would not want it any other way.
