Once upon a time, there were two guys who lived in Kansas, and they were bored. So they decided that the best way to cure the boredom was to write a musical. Naturally.
Mind you these to guys had the combined musical theater knowledge of a hippo. Perhaps a particularly well cultured hippo, but a hippo none the less. Between them, they had been in a grand total of three musicals, and had seen a grand total of about six (not including Disney movies).
When embarking upon a project one is unfamiliar with, it is best to start out small. So logically, they chose the most horrendously convoluted plot line containing the most possible characters by deciding to base our show off of the popular FOX tv show LOST. Undeterred by lack of knowledge or smoke monsters, we set out writing the script in October/November of 2011. Sometimes slowly, sometimes at breakneck speeds, the idea formulated itself into an actual script, full of catchy lyrics, goofy characters, and lots of beluga whales. By January of 2012, we had the first act done. So I called up all my acting friends I had compiled over the course of my two years in show biz to see if they were interested. They all took the bait, and by late January, we had an award-winning team of directors, an amazing cast, and half a script. And so we embarked upon this crazy journey, not knowing how the heck anything was going to turn out, where we were going to preform, or when the music or even Act II would be out.
And we knew it was going to be totally awesome.
Looking forward to it!
