 Hi all. I live in Hell's Kitchen and am itching to start working on a musical theater project. I have a couple of ideas...both at the embryonic stage. And I'd really like to find a kick-ass writing partner.

A bit about me. I was a classical pianist as a kid...moved to NYC and signed a publishing deal with Sony in the late '90s as a pop songwriter. For the past few years, I worked as a producer in the (slightly insane) world of Internet TV. I oversaw tons of content and honed my writing skills, supplying snappy copy for the entire service...and worked my way up to Executive Producer.

I'd really like to create a funny, well-written piece of theater with strong songs. I've got the luxury of time right now...and am casting a net to see if I can find a like-minded guy or gal to work with.

As I mentioned in the header, the score of Cabaret, the humor of Tina Fey and the overall arc/script/songs of Avenue Q are all touchstones for me. Musically, I like so many different things that it's hard to list them all. Aside from theater-oriented tunes, I love current indie rock/pop, vintage '70s and '80s new wave and classic vocalists like Peggy Lee, Blossom Dearie and Sarah Vaughan. And a lot in between!

Maybe this will resonate with the right person!  Thanks.
