Making it happen
From Musical Director Brent Frederick:
It's been a unique and exciting experience to work on The News In Revue! Of course, having a great cast is a huge benefit, but being able to work on such current material is also a new and exciting challenge. I've never worked on a production where we were still writing songs two days prior to opening -- but that's really what sets this show apart from anything else I've encountered.
The material is fresh and Nancy's writing is brilliant... we've been able to write and stage some very challenging production numbers with great harmonies, choreography and direction in a timeframe where a traditional writing process would still be at the concept stage. Everyone is amazingly talented in their respective specialties and it's this creative synergy coupled with a real desire to present meaningful satire that makes it happen! -- BRENT FREDERICK
