<p>Doctorjohn, first, a congrats to one of your graduates on his success with Memphis! </p>
<p>Thanks for sharing that producer’s mission statement. I enjoyed reading it. My MT daughter was remarking to me about an article on Sunday in the NYTimes (I did not see it myself) about the dirth of new musical scores this year. Even in the musical score category, I believe two of the five nominations were for plays. Many of the musicals did not have original scores. Memphis was one of the exceptions. The writer of the article she read talked about the need for more new musicals. My D was excited to read that and agrees (as do I) and she has written and composed an original musical which happens to be in workshop as I type this. I don’t know how far her musical will go. So far, so good. I’m happy to read of producers like Randy and will keep that name in mind should my D end up shopping for producers!</p>
