Rules to live by: Always wear clean underwear, always use a condom, and never, ever write a musical by yourself!

Hey, this is cool!

Robert Diamond, Founder and CEO of Broadwayworld.com has put up this article I wrote about my NYMF experience with Plane Crazy.

Here's a clip from the end of the article:

I have to admit that I have enjoyed realizing this very personal and focused vision for PLANE CRAZY. I am proud of the work I've done on the show since NYMF, and watching the Sheridan rehearsals I know the show has improved. I know these characters so well that I know how they would react to a change in storyline, pacing, or dialogue. I know that while a song may be a cool song, it might not really be right for the character in the show at that point in time.

I also know that I need a collaborator if I am going to take PLANE CRAZY to the next level, and ultimately to Broadway.

But how do you find the right person? Someone who has a lot in common with you but is also different enough to bring that missing ingredient to the table? (Darn, and I promised myself I wouldn't use kitchen imagery!)

Should I place a classified ad: FOW seeks MWC (Freaked-out Writer seeks Miracle Working Collaborator)?

Ask if they know all the verses to "Jubilation T. Cornpone"?

Ask them if they own both the fullscreen and widescreen DVDs of DOWN WITH LOVE?

Or just ask them if they know where I got the name Webster Ramsey Templeton Advertising from?

Why in hell would anyone own a fullscreen DVD of anything?
When you're desperate, you'll do anything...I'm ashamed of my full screen purchases, and I keep them to a minimum, but it was all I could get on short notice.

I quickly found and ordered a widescreen version (10, actually) but my shame continues. How will I ever be clean again?
