I am a composer/lyricist; I created a music video based on one of my songs titled, TROPHY WIFE which can be viewed on CMT and VEVO.

I also have a Synopsis of my ideas for a musical; since I do not know the next step, can someone give me some guidance?  To whom would I send my Synopsis, what is my next step?  I am beginning to script it - should I wait and present both the Synopsis and Script simultaneously?

Thanks for any help/guidance someone can give me.  <<personal information edited by BWW staff, please contact via PM.>>  MKW

Wait, you list a 772 area code here, which just happens to be where I live, but your website says 773, which is Chicago.  So where are you based? 

Anyway, in my opinion, there's not much you can do with a synopsis.  You need to flesh out the script, round up some actors and musicians, and present it to the public.  Maybe just friends and family at first; something informal so you can get feedback and opinions.  Then go back and rewrite the script, try to present it to a larger audience.  Rinse, lather, and repeat until the script is nice and tight, then look around for a theatre seeking new works.  Submit it to them and see what happens from there. 

Good luck!
