The Green Fairy at Union Theatre

Guest Blog: Writer/Director Jack Sain On Musical THE GREEN FAIRY

The first song we (Stephen Libby and I) wrote for the show was 'Dark Paradise' - and it was one of the quickest. We knew what we wanted to say. We started it in a park, then ran home to get to the piano. The last was 'Happy Hour'. The first was easy, perhaps an evening - the last took us months. We wrote four different versions, none of which fit. I think every hour spent thinking about 'Happy Hour' was by the piano - in retrospect, fresh air and pacing is a game-changer. Highly recommended.
