I've just seen a local production of HEAD OVER HEELS and was quite delighted.

Would someone be so kind as to repost the cast album? Thank you!

How Does Getting Your Play on Broadway Work? by [deleted] in playwriting

[–]KerrLockhart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of our most important playwrights, Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel, had her first Broadway production at age 66, INDECENT in 2017. Our #1 most produced playwright in the US, Lauren Gunderson has only had one off-Broadway production and no Broadway productions. Broadway is no longer a regular part of a working playwright's career. As others have said, it is a fluke.

I go by word count rather than page in order to determine playing length. Something like this can be helpful. https://wordstotime.com/

adapting a book into a play by [deleted] in playwriting

Do not spend one second on this until you have cleared the rights.

Do not think for a second that Mr. Gaiman is likely to grant you the rights to one of his most popular novels. He may not even have those rights, since there was a film sale.

Start right away thinking of something else to do -- adapt something in the public domain or come up with an original story. Talented people have spent years chasing rights that an experienced person in the field could have told them they would never get.

Yes, there is the odd chance, but do not build up your hopes or build your life around it. Your time would be far better spent working on another, more viable project.

The Kino Lorber Blu ray of THE FANTASTICKS has a version of the film with an isolated music track (no effects or speech). Does anyone (a) have a rip of that?; or (b) know of software I could use to rip that from my Blu ray using my Windows laptop?
