I'm looking for a collaborator on a new musical comedy - "Blasphemy: The Musical". I have the book written and have been working on it for some time. I also have some tentative lyrics for the songs, but am really looking for a songwriter to come in and shape a good score. Here's a synopsis:
John Parker and his wife, Susan, have just inherited the home of their deceased uncle. The house is located in the utopian town of Heaven, Indiana, where spiritual leader Father O’Brien has discovered a lack of faith. He attempts to solve this problem by creating a machine which will make the townspeople into perfect Christians. Meanwhile, O’Brien has discovered a secret stash of religious artwork done by his uncle. As a way to produce funds for the machine, O’Brien convinces John to take credit for the art and put it on display for the world. Soon, all of Heaven witnesses the paintings, and rumors spread that John is the Second Coming of Jesus. To make matters worse is Lexington Cornpipe, an eccentric modern artist who is willing to kill to make sure no one steals his spotlight. Blasphemy! explores just how far people will go for their ticket to Heaven, and the consequences that follow.
Here's a list of characters:
JOHN PARKER – A young man in his late twenties who just gets by in life. He’s not strong, handsome, and brawny, but what he lacks in stature he makes up for in personality. He’s a good husband - an everyman whose only wish is to be noticed for what he is.
SUSAN PARKER – His kind and lovable wife. She is a bit more sensitive, although not afraid to take control of the relationship. She loves John, but they are past the typical musical comedy “love story”. This is the aftermath – a real life relationship that finds little time for romance. When it does, it is normally brought on by a glass or two of wine.
FATHER O’BRIEN – The charmingly manipulative spiritual leader of Heaven, Indiana. On one hand a kind priest with hopes of a better community, on the other a cunning snake looking for a victim. Depending on the actor playing him, he can be a young, handsome, and debonair man or an older, chubbier, but still charmingly creepy man.
SISTER SLEDGE – A sexy and flirtatious nun. She is the conductor of the Heaven, Indiana Choir, as well as Father O’Brien’s confidante and mistress. She represents the more sensual side of temptation, able to make any man melt with a glance or gesture - a young, skinny, blonde, busty bombshell.
LEXINGTON CORNPIPE – An eccentric modern artist and the most famous person in Heaven, Indiana. He’s an old bitchy queen who would gladly resort to murder to make sure he remains in the spotlight. If Captain Hook and Cruella de Ville had a son, that would be Lexington.
CONCORD – Lexington’s head butler and number one fan. He’s a bit of an oaf, but at the same time the most sympathetic of all the characters. Lexington’s companionship is very important to him, and he would not trade it for anything in the world.
LIPTON SUNBROOD – A religious nutcase. He’s a big smiling dork of a guy who considers himself to have been saved from a dark and unpleasant life. Now, his life is completely based around the Bible.
NESTEA SUNBROOD – His perky and Botox-happy wife. Both she and Lipton operate like robots who have been injected with coffee. An ex-stripper, she (like Lipton) has been saved.
ENSEMBLE – A company of 6 women and 3 men. 3 women play a choir of nuns and 3 men and 3 women play average townspeople. The 3 men also play butlers and 3 of the women play maids in Lexington’s mansion.

Hello,
I am a young composer and I would really wish to work in such a project, designing sound and composing songs. I will give you a link on myspace where you can find music composed and mixed by me for the band Electric Fence, but I canreally compose many more styles of music. I can cope with many situations. The link is http://www.myspace.com/electricfenceculture . I hope you choose to contact me, because I am eager to get involved in this kind of project. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
David Ciente.
