New Musicals Inc. Presents an Interview Writers Of CITY OF LIGHT

By:

Another video from the Stages Musical Theatre Festival was just released this week. New Musicals Inc. aired 51 hours of live streamcast footage of musical theatre readings, concerts, creative sessions, as well as interviews with writers and producers, all part of the most recent Stages Musical Theatre Festival. The Festival ran for fifteen years in Chicago before New Musicals Inc. brought it to the West Coast about a decade ago.

NMI's featured video release this week is an interview with Gabrielle Wagner (book) and Julie Weiner (lyrics) - two-thirds of the collaborative team (along with composer Jan Roper) of the new musical CITY OF LIGHT, developed through the NMI Full Length Curriculum. This interview is part of a series with producers and writers of new musical theatre, originally streamed live during the 2017 Stages Musical Theatre Festival.

New Musicals Inc. studies, creates and produces new musicals. The Stages Musical Theatre Festival is one of many programs and events which NMI hosts.

This week's featured video, as well as many other musical-theatre-related videos, can be viewed at NMI's FRONT ROW page at http://nmi.org/the-front-row/.
