"Fox Hunting" From Tom Jones the Musical Live at the Rockwell Table and Stage Our set at the Rockwell Table and Stage was a rollicking good time. I love this performance or "Fox Hunting." Jennifer Sun Bell sounds fantastic. And Eric B. Anthony -- well Eric surprised us with his dancing. It's pure magic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK_89pSCgBM

Human Race Theatre Going Around the World in 80 Days The Human Race Theatre Company in Dayton, Ohio is producing my play Around the World in 80 Days. The show runs Feb 28 - March 17. If the production is as good as the marketing, it's going to be a smash hit! The Human Race Theatre has some of the best marketing I've ever seen. If you're in the Dayton, Ohio area, please stop by to see the show. The [...]
Here's the Cast for Tom Jones the Musical The other day I posted about our return to the Rockwell Table and Stage to perform more songs from Tom Jones the Musical. We've put together a fantastic group of actors. Wilkie Ferguson Most of my musical theatre friends live in NYC, so I have to do some trolling out here in LA. I looked up musicals in LA and came across Spamilton. Wilkie was in the cast. I scoured ye olde [...]
Tom Jones is Coming Back to the Rockwell Back in September we debuted five songs from Tom Jones the Musical. It went so well that the Foundation for New America Musicals has invited us to come back in February to perform some more songs. Whoo to the hoo! We've put together a fantastic group of singers.

Okay, so I've a play based on the P.G. Wodehouse novel A Gentleman of Leisure. It's a romantic comedy about a dashing millionaire who makes a bet that he can rob a house. He meets a three-bit crook and passes himself off as a renown international thief. He meets a girl, falls in love, hijinks ensue, and in the end - and here's the big spoiler alert - we discover he actually is a renowned international thief. It's an homage [...]
Tom Jones - Spend the Night With Me Yesterday Paul and I got together to record a new song for our musical Tom Jones the Musical. The song is called "Spend the Night With Me." It's a seductive duet between Tom and Mrs. Waters (later in the show there's a jaw-dropping reveal of who Mrs Waters really is). We'll record the singers at a later date. Right now Paul sings both parts. And all of the backup parts. Here it [...]
A Film About the Magic of Creating Theatre I love the theatre. It's been the one constant in my life. Well, that and my depression. I love the theatre because it is magical to me. It's a place where people come together for the purpose of telling a story. Actors, writers, directors, lighting designers, set designers, costume designers, the list goes on and on. All coming together to tell a story. Brandi Underwood, the founding artistic director of the Fat [...]
Fat Turtle Theatre Company Nails the Quest for Don Quixote The Fat Turtle Theatre Company (I love that name) in Indianapolis just closed an extremely successful run of my play The Quest for Don Quixote. "In adapting the unadaptable, this hilarious play about a play about an immortal character that transcends his literature, bends the rules enough to blend medieval chivalry with Pinkie Pie from 'My Little Pony.'" Yep, one character is a closeted bronie. You can read the whole review [...]
Tom Jones the Musical Demo Recordings I was in NYC not so long ago, recording demos for my new musical Tom Jones the Musical. I've been posting about the sessions and have come to the final song we recorded. I'll Always Love You "I'll Always Love You" is the final song in the show. The feel good, everything ends happily song. It's Tom and Sophie's wedding song. It's also the last song we recorded in NYC. Despite having a lot [...]
