The collaboration to develop Fan! is complete. I have written the Book now, but that is only the beginning of the next phase - which is why I am creating a new Collaboration.

Please read the entire book - your motivation for what still needs to be done is in there. The following are now what need to happen:

1. All the songs have been written, but the score for a pit orchestra still needs to be written by someone - or many someones. Although we have provided the demos of all these songs, not all of them have been completed - and there are better musicians out there than myself who can re-record these demos and make them sound better.. The Book shows where the demos still need modification when you use the link to compare what is recorded with what is written.

2. Stage Design. We need as many set designers as possible making suggestions and RECording diagrams - or taking photos of full mock ups. Although this is not necessary before a specific theater group takes on this task, it is our way of showing the Direcor what WE have in mind, so we should not skip this step. Once again, the book points out several elements necessary to complete the set design - please refer to it.

3. Re-writes. I realize the book I am posting today (November 10, 2010) is only a first draft - no matter how long it took me to write, or how much sweat I poured into it, I know changes need to be made. PLEASE!!! Tell us what you think - if you see a need for change, or have a suggestion on how to improve anything, do not hesitate to comment about it - really - let us know.

***IT IS FAR BETTER THAT CRITIQUES FROM HITRECORDERS HAPPEN AT THIS STAGE THAN AFTER THE SHOW OPENS WHEN "REAL" CRITICS WRITE THEIR REVIEWS***

4. Choreography. I have been begging for dancers to dance for this and RECord those dances ever since this started. NOW is the time to RECord your own choreography of these tunes.

5. A little theater or college theater group needs to accept this script and perform the first ever ametuer performance of this show as a demo to provide to financiers so we can get the show produced on Broadway (or in any professional Theater environment). If any of you are involved in a theater group - TAKE THIS SCRIPT AND PERFORM IT!!!! Film the performance, and RECord it here on hitRECord. Don't worry that anyone else may be performing it either - it is okay if several Theater Groups take on this task at the same time. It helps for re-writes too! SERIOUSLY - now is the time to get your theater group to perform this show - this is a call to action for anyone able to act on it!


I remain super stoked about this project - after you read the book, you might see why!
