After a sold-out New York City premiere this past spring, Beat by Beat Press announced today that its original children's musical The Most Epic Birthday Party Ever is now available for licensing. Beginning today schools and community theaters can request a free perusal script and apply for production rights at www.bbbpress.com.

The Most Epic Birthday Party Ever adds to Beat by Beat's growing catalogue of original, contemporary musicals written for elementary to middle school age performers. Since launching in 2011, Beat by Beat has become the fastest growing publisher of new musicals for young actors, with productions licensed in over 14 countries and 35 states.

"The Most Epic Birthday Party Ever is unlike any musical we've ever released. It combines the average backyard birthday party with the storytelling, events and music of an epic major motion picture," stated Denver Casado, founder of Beat by Beat Press. "Combine this with hilarious over-the-top characters and a heart-warming message of family appreciation and you've got a perfect show for young actors."

The musical tells the story of what happens when a sibling rivalry reaches epic proportions. Skyler is about to turn 12 and she's planned the biggest celebration of the year. But in the middle of the party, something mysterious happens - all the adults suddenly vanish! Trapped in the backyard, the kids begin to create a brand new society with decorations left over from the party. However when they elect Skyler's older brother as their ruler, things really spin out of control.

The show is 45-minutes long and features over 24 speaking and singing solo parts. Like every Beat by Beat musical, the majority of characters are gender-neutral allowing it to be performed by a variety of drama groups. In a market saturated by fairy tale adaptations, the show offers a refreshing option for schools and theaters looking to bring new musical theatre to their communities.

Beat by Beat has attracted thousands of theaters to its unique online publishing platform. Available for free, its ePerusals let directors instantly read and listen to entire shows in a single multimedia PDF file.

After purchasing a show, customers receive an all-in-one production kit. The kit includes a director's guide with tips from casting to costumes, professionally orchestrated accompaniment tracks the actors can perform to, plus the freedom to copy scripts and video record without worries of copyright infringement.

The Most Epic Birthday Party Ever has book, music and lyrics by Denver Casado & Betina Hershey.
