On February 14, 2023, I first watched Reservoir Dogs (1992). Valentine's Day -- how interesting. Especially when you consider how I fell in love with the film. Very quickly, I began playing around with the concept of a stage musical based on it. That idea grew and grew. I've now written the lyrics to 14 songs and a third of the script, planned out costumes, set, staging, and lighting, and come up with a dreamcast. (Hugh Jackman is Mr. White, if you care.) This is my scream into the void -- my pitch of Reservoir Dogs: The Musical. It is my life's dream to get it produced someday.
Honoring the worlds of film and theatre, and the bridges created between them. How does one build a musical from a movie, or vice versa? From Little Shop of Horrors, to Beetlejuice, to Mean Girls, to Billy Elliott, to The Producers, films can set the stage -- literally.
