Student Blog: Living the Life Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo!: How I’m Getting My Musical Off Its Feet!
by Student Blogger: MJ Kirsche - February 10, 2025
As mentioned in my latest article, I’ve written a musical! I’ve written several chunks of musicals and more MT style songs than I can count, but for the first time I’m actually doing it! This is the one I want to be my first composer/songwriter debut, opposed to the several plays I’ve already put out– so the next big project I’m working on is going to be recording a demo of all the songs in the show. What this means though, is that I’m gonna be faced with a lot of new work and challenges I haven’t had to face before as I double down with getting this show into the eyes and ears of the public. Here’s a candid look at how I plan to do this as a beginner!
