  3. 15 Minute Musicals: Green-Eyed Monsters


Eight brand-new fifteen-minute musicals will have their world premiere on July 18 and 19 at the Broadwater Second Stage in Hollywood. These musicals are a decades-long tradition at New Musicals Inc., and one of the hottest tickets in town.The 15 Minute Musical Project concludes each season of NMIs world-famous Core Curriculum of the writers workshop, offered through their academic branch the Academy for New Musical Theatre, which has been in existence for over 40 years. For the final project of the curriculum, composers and lyricists and bookwriters are put together on writing teams and are given three short months to write, revise and polish a brand-new musical written for four actors whom theyve never met before.Its like a rite of passage, says Elise Dewsberry, the Academys Artistic Director and producer of the 15 Minute Musicals. We design the process to imitate a full-length show in a professional theatre: draft, rehearsal, rewrites, rehearsal, opening. Its really a wonderful experience, but its often stressful, just like a million dollar opening night. Our writers names are in the program, and its important to them they write the best show they possibly can, in the short amount of time weve given them.This season there will be eight 15-minute musicals, featuring two different casts of four actors. The evening is entitled: Green-eyed Monsters: eight new musicals about jealousy, and the wri teams have cooked up eight wildly different approaches to this theme.These evenings are an annual highlight of the Academys year-long season of developing new musicals and feature many new voices in musical theatre. Every seat in the house usually sells out.The eight shows presented each evening (July 18 and 19) are split into two groups:The BLUE Program:Granny Wars with book by Kimberly Barger, and music and lyrics by Katie BradyStanford or Bust with book by Michael Harold, and music and lyrics by Jan WongCheese & Crackers with book by Thomas Blakely, music by Duncan Smith, and lyrics by Bill CoeHighwire with book by Gustav Hoyer, music by Joely Zuker, and lyrics by Elizabeth ColemanDirected by John Coppola; Music Directed by Jake Anthony; Stage Managed by Jenn DupreStarring Melvin Biteng, Tianna Cohen, Marcello Padilla, and Andrea SomeraThe RED Program:The Cure with book and lyrics by B.K.
