The One From Tom Jones the Musical

2022-01-18T05:53:40+00:00

First Public Performance of Tom Jones the Musical The other week we did our first public performance of songs from my show Tom Jones the Musical. I was really happy with the way it went. We performed at The Rockwell Table and Stage out here in Los Angeles as part of the Foundation for New American Musicals' program Musical-Cal. I was fairly nervous about how the songs would be received, but it couldn't have gone much better. We had a great [...]

New Song For Tom Jones the Musical

2018-08-31T16:32:18+00:00

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 [...]

I know I've done this poll before but I'm doing it again. Sue me. This September, Tom Jones the Musical is scheduled to be part of Musi-Cal, a program of The Foundation for New American Musicals. Can I get a Woot-Woot!? We have a  20-22 minute set. Paul and I are figuring out which songs we want to perform. Here are the songs we have recorded so far. We may have a new song or two to choose from by [...]

It Takes a Village

2022-01-18T05:53:39+00:00

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 [...]

A Successful Quest for Don Quixote

2023-11-16T00:56:45+00:00

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 [...]

Fat Turtle Theatre on a Quest for Don Quixote

2022-01-18T05:53:37+00:00

Fat Turtle Theatre Goes on a Quest for Don Quixote The Fat Turtle Theatre Company in Indianapolis, IN is producing my new-ish play The Quest for Don Quixote. It's my most personal play, based on real events in my life. It's about a writer who struggles with the fear of failure, depression and the sometimes paralyzing fear of life. And it's a comedy. I sat down, via Skype, with director Aaron Cleveland, the other day to talk about the play. I believe [...]

Tom Jones the Musical I’ll Always Love You

2018-03-03T06:33:05+00:00

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 [...]

Valentines Day Cards

2018-02-14T17:21:17+00:00

Valentines Day Cards 2015 It's always hard for me to find a good Valentines Day card. I hate the sappy, lace-covered cards with some soppy message written in a romance novel font. And a lot of the "humorous" cards don't live up to the humorous part. What's a pseudo-romantic-odd-sense-of-humor guy to do? Cue the band. These cards are perfect. Historical Cards That Say I Love You For those of you who love history and dictators, these are for you. Happy Valentines Day. [...]
