The New York based award-winning songwriting duo Kooman & Dimond teams up with Alberto Belli, the director of the viral sensation "For your Consideration" to premiere "Someday Soon," a clever, light-hearted musical about the adventures and obstacles of graduating in today's failing economy. Check out "Someday Soon" below!

"Someday Soon" stars Broadway actor Anderson Davis (South Pacific, Les Miserables) to tell the story of a recent college graduate who is unemployed, drowning in debt, yet full of hope. The musical characterizes the current situation that more than 2 million graduates will face this year. With the recent news that in July interest rates for student loans will double, the musical begs the question, is it even worth going to college or getting a master's degree?

Kooman & Dimond received the 2010 Jonathan Larson Grant and are the first recipients of the Lorenz Hart Award. Their musical "Dani Girl" (now published by Samuel French) has been workshopped at the Kennedy Center, American Conservatory Theatre, Cherry Lane Theatre, the ASCAP/Disney Musical Theater Workshop, the Festival of New American Musicals, and was featured in the 2011 NAMT Festival of New Musical. In 2013, their musical "Orphie and the Book of Heroes" will premiere at the Kennedy Center. Their original musical "The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes" will be part of the 2013 O'Neill Music Theater Conference. Currently, they are under commission from the Pittsburgh CLO. Their debut album, OUT OF OUR HEADS, featuring an all-star lineup of Broadway performers, is now available on iTunes. www.koomandimond.com

After making his Broadway debut as Marius in "Les Miserables", Anderson Davis toured nationally in "South Pacific" as Lt. Joseph Cable. Other New York credits include "Damn Yankees" at City Center Encores. Regional credits include "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" at Denver Center Theater and "The Who's Tommy" with Pittsburgh CLO.

Alberto Belli graduated with a Master's degree in TV and Film Production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts and has directed a number of successful film projects. Most recently, "For Your Consideration," an Anne Hathaway parody video inspired by her "Les Miserables" performance went viral with more than 1.5 million YouTube views and was covered widely by national and international media. "Zombo," a zombie themed musical, won the student EMMY for Best Comedy. While at USC, Belli was honored with the prestigious John Huston Directing Merit Scholarship and was named one of the top 25 Filmmakers on Campus in the US by MTVu. His thesis film "The Case of the Missing Garden Gnome" is currently in the film festival circuit and won a second place Student EMMY for Best Comedy. He was also invited to be a panelist at the 2012 Austin Film Festival.
