GREAT RESOURCES FOR MUSICAL THEATRE
I know a lot of musical theatre writers around the country - many of them have been cyberpals for years. We've come to each other's shows, helped each other network, met for coffee, and generally kept in touch over the years.
Noel Katz has put together an incredible on-line "Study Guide" to classic musicals -- an analysis that includes writing tips and what the show can teach a writer. Noel is the author of "Our Wedding" - yes, when he and his actress wife got married a couple of years ago, he wrote a musical that the entire wedding party performed.
David Spencer's book THE MUSICAL WRITERS' SURVIVAL GUIDE has great stuff. There are excerpts on-line here.
Anybody even thinking about writing musicals needs to be a member of MusicalMakers, a Yahoo group with tons of writers & producers. Craft discussion, news, rants & raves, networking, you name it, it happens here.
