The Next Great American Musical

What inspires creation?

​

​The Next Great American Musical (currently in writing stages) follows the story of two young writing partners and friends as they navigate honing their craft and adjusting to the growing pains of chasing a dream together.

​

As their partnership wanes under the devastation of shattered dreams, the duo grapples with the realization that pen and paper can no longer save them. This show raises questions of "Were roads meant to bring us here?", "Would it really be so bad to go undiscovered?", and "When will all the work feel like enough?". Is partnership their greatest asset, or is it a death sentence to their legacy as they fall apart?

Listen to our first release for this project, "Writing Every Day", a song from act one of the show that captures the hopeful spirit of two artists embracing the ritual of writing.
