Announcing Our Newest Upcoming Musical…THE GRUNCH!
We’re thrilled to announce the title of our next hit musical, available this fall:
Inspired by “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”, The Grunch tells the story of Rudy Grunch, a grumpy 6th grader who always feels like an outsider. When the entire school gets excited about the annual school musical, he comes up with a perfect plan to ruin it for everyone; he’ll steal the sets, costumes and lights the night before it opens. But will the spirit of theatre prevail?
The Grunch premiered this past spring in New York to an incredible response (you can read a review and see pictures here.)
The Grunch will be around 50-60 minutes in length, ideal for kids 7-14 years old. Like every other Beat by Beat musical, the show will feature lots of speaking and singing parts so every kid has a chance to shine.
This summer it’s being workshopped in Washington D.C. by Moonlit Wings Productions and in Manhattan at the Children’s Musical Theatre Festival.
These workshops will help us make sure the script and score are as tight as possible. After that we’ll lay down the final recordings and have the ePerusal ready by the end of summer!
To be the first to know when it’s ready, make sure you join our mailing list over there on the right.
