What Hollywood’s Addiction to The Hero’s Journey is Doing to the Broadway Musical. Too many musicals are being made from films! But I don’t think the number. Of films becoming musicals is the real problem. If we want vibrant, innovative musicals, I think there’s a worse problem headed our way, assuming it’s not here already. Are you already familiar with the history of writing manuals for the screen, intentional and un-? You might like to skip this next bit. Otherwise, behold:. 8211; Joseph Campbell’s.

Co-written and directed by Carissa Campbell, was first performed in 2005, and for a little while thereafter. The show was recorded live at the Street Theatre, and the 500 CDs that resulted were all eventually sold or given away. So here it is in all its digital glory. I had no low notes (owing to hayfever), forgot some of my own lyrics, mangled a few chords, and I’m very proud of it. 3 Song For Sydney. 4 Last Week I Hit My Sexual Peak. 5 Aussie James Bond. 6 Don’t Miss the Show. 8 Insert Title Here.

Other Songs | major to minor

Each title links back to the original post. A contemplation, in the style of early Elton John, of a royal wedding. A smoky jazz number about necking in cars. My dig at anyone who’s written songs about groovy chicks you can treat like Kleenex. The four laws, as applied to celebrity. My Mind Was On You. Your basic sexy-daydream-while-at-the-office number. Part of a cantata I wrote about Canberra, this art song is about the 2003 bushfire. The Biggest Town Council (The Tiniest Parliament). A West End Whinger.
