Reading through the new orchestrations for Marry Harry at Chelsea Studios in NYC.  Jeremy Clayton is on flute (he’ll also double on clarinet), Vivian Israel is on cello, and our musical director Christopher McGovern is at the piano.  These are wonderful players!

I’ve been writing cello and reed (clarinet/flute) orchestrations for Marry Harry – a very intense and beautiful process.  So – in addition to piano and ten voices – we’ll be adding these instruments – to enrich and expand the sound at our NYMF performances this July.

Rehearsal for a short animated film we’re doing (Papa’s Prince) based on our Frog Prince song/scene from The Cousins Grimm.  Blake McCarty is the filmmaker and Ted Sod is the cowriter/producer.  Howie Michael Smith (L) is playing Froggy who falls for Javier Munoz (R) and begs him for a kiss.  Jeff Caldwell is the Musical Director/Pianist.  Jillian Louis and Sheri Sanders will be our chorus of singing toys!

Backstage with Ann Harada at the Broadway Theatre on April 2, 2013. Ann is hilarious as Charlotte – the “ugly” step-sister in this fabulous remake of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic.

Spent a few wonderful days in New York in December recording 9 new songs we’ve written for the In My Body Project.  Here’s Javier Munoz, Jonathan Brody, and Kelly Karcher rehearsing Holly & Hubby.  H & H is a short (p)opera – a love duet between a husband and wife healing from a near-death experience.  The libretto is based on a story by Kate Cipriano.  Kelly sang Holly, Javier sang Hubby, and Jonathan was our narrator.  Beautiful!
