LMM-Artwork-2 small“Let’s Make A Musical”, an interactive new podcast that brings listeners into the process of writing an original musical, has just been released and is now available in iTunes. The weekly show, produced by Beat by Beat Press (www.bbbpress.com), takes listeners on the thrilling ride of creating a new musical from scratch and is geared toward anyone who loves musical theatre.

Each week “Let’s Make A Musical” will feature an exchange of ideas from award-winning musical theatre writers Denver Casado and Brian Dawson documenting their process of creating a new 45-minute musical for young actors. They’ll perform working drafts of songs, discuss plot struggles, and request listener feedback to help guide the show.

“At Beat by Beat our new musicals for young actors have reached thousands of communities in over 35 countries around the world,” said Denver Casado, founder of Beat by Beat Press. “We thought it’d be fun to pull back the curtain on how we create these unique shows and involve our audience to participate in the process.”

Within the first few weeks of launching “Let’s Make A Musical” has received thousands of downloads and climbed to #7 on the iTunes Performing Arts chart. In the most recent episode Brian and Denver discuss the importance of the “I Want” song and discuss the many challenges of writing musical theatre lyrics. iTunes subscribers will receive the latest episode every Tuesday morning.

    It might be funny to have MineCraft’s Steve (all blocky and badly drawn as he is) playing off of one of the much more realistic 3D characters who really can NOT believe that any kid wants to play this game with such terrible graphics.
