As the fall theatre season begins at Teaxs State, I am thrilled to be a part of A Little Princess. It is a new show by Broadway composer Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, The Wild Party, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown).
Lippa is the composer-in-residence for Texas State Musical Theatre and is working with the students to create new works. A Little Princess, which I have the pleasure of working on, will be staged and debuted featuring Texas State students and faculty, with Lippa himself doing the conducting.
Another project I am excited about is the musical adaptations of Tim Burton's Big Fish. He will pair up with director/choreographer Susan Stroman ( Big, The Producers, Young Frankenstein). When the film came out in 2003, it was nominated for multiple awards. I think the fantastical story and characters is the perfect base for a musical, so I am excited to see how it turns out.
