Happy New Year everyone!  I am thrilled to begin this Sweet ’16 and wish you all best!

Updates are very exciting as we begin the New Year:  I have just completed the book and co-written the lyrics for a new Broadway bound musical, “SING!”.   I have partnered on this project with legendary songwriter Franne Golde (100 million records sold worldwide with cuts from Diana Ross to Whitney Houston et al),  from an idea by legendary  producer Steve Binder.  Our composers, in addition to Franne and I are… Brenda Russell and Stephen Bray (The Color Purple currently on Broadway), Marsha Malamet (Streisand cuts et al), Columbia Records artist Ari Hest, Richard Kerr  ( “I Know I’ll Never Love This Way Again” ) Nashville’s Lindsey Rey, Broadway’s Ilene Kristen, and Cameron James Brier (Universal Music Group).  An L.A. workshop will be held in March with an out of town tryout to follow prior to a Broadway run next season.

On January 7th, I will announce the  dates fort new L.A and NYC Workshops and the dates for weekend intensives all over the country to follow by month’s end.  The new nationwide workshops will be entitled “SONG and DANCE” with multiple vocal coaches and choreographers from both coasts will appear with special Broadway guests from casting directors to Broadway creators throughout 2016.

Lastly, I couldn’t be more excited about the live television Broadway  production of “GREASE” starring my long time student and friend, Vanessa Hudgens.   Having performed the show on Broadway as Teen Angel  for two years, this production brings me full circle.  Stay tuned!
