Sometime in 2010, It must have been in the Spring, R.C. Staab and I submitted Zombie Wedding to the Academy for New Musical Theatre in LA for a screen cast open reading. This is a service the Academy staff offer in which the senior faculty read through and then review a few scenes or a couple songs from a musical in development. I found the whole experience very helpful and would certainly recommend it for anyone doing anything a little ambitious. Aside from general lyrical and musical notes, much breath was spent belying my piano score, from the size of the cord symbols, the use of ties notes and other such and such that one would think was rather petty considering the show was only in an early reading. Well one would be wrong.
