4: Pitching It
I wanted to pitch Wannabes to be the winter Senior Show for when I was a senior in high school. My director wanted to see some examples of my work, as well as a draft of the script. With the help of vocalists at Berklee and dancers/movers in my high school drama club, we put together a series of choreographed videos to demos of five songs from the musical. We ended up getting the thumbs up!
​
The scribbles on the sheets of paper you're seeing show my thought process when it comes to song selections and how to cast the choreography roles, back when I had a lot more name characters. There is also a song list that shows titles that have come and gone in the canon of the show. You're going to have to pretend you didn't see "Empty Chairs, Empty Tables" as a song title. In my defense, I had not listened to Les Miserables in its entirety at this point. You can see how I'd arrive at that title On My Own though. (See what I did there?)
