Landor Theatre to Present First FROM PAGE TO STAGE Material, Feb-March 2013

Katy Lipson of Aria Entertainment has teamed up with the Artistic Director of the Landor Theatre, Robert McWhir, to curate a season of new musical theatre, compiling showcases, workshops and products of new International musical theatre writing, called "From Page To Stage".

People have been asking, 'Why isn't there a venue dedicated to the presentation of new musical writing?' Well now we have just that! Work will be presented by a wide range of writers and producers including a showcase of songs from The New Musical Songbook (a website recently created with rights-holders and publishers Stagescripts Ltd, A STAGE KINDLY and The New Musical Network) which promotes the online sale and exposure of original musical theatre songs.

The first programmed set of material is as follows and includes the world premiere production of the new musical "The Route To Happiness" by internationally acclaimed composer-lyricist - and BBC comic songwriter - Alexander S. Bermange, charting the individual and interweaving experiences of three present-day Londoners in pursuit of their respective dreams. The season closes with a night of music by British writer Dougal Irvine.
