"Creating a new musical in a huge task, both creatively and financially" said Toby Simkin. He continued "Having a creative brain trust of experienced experts collaborating at the table, earlier than later in the development process, provides better insurance for success and more harmony in the final stages of rehearsal." Asked why he his posting publically, he said "In the true spirit of international production, we want to consider the best of the best from around the world, not just from my iPhone contact list."

"Musical theatre is a collaborative art form. All aspects of the shows entertainment value (story, music, look and feel) combines to create an in-theatre experience that must be perfect the first time an audience member buys a ticket - so having these collaborators earlier than later just makes perfect sense."
