The Art Tour: How to Make a New Musical

Center for Latter-day Saint Arts Season 8 Episode 12

What does it take to get a new musical staged on Broadway? In this episode, composer and lyricist Kyle Fackrell describes the journey of his new Off-Broadway musical, The Art Tour, that opens on 42nd Street next week. More than a recounting of the challenges and triumphs of producing an original work for the theater, Kyle details how the two-character show represents all of us in our decisions to be bold. It asks questions about love, art, and purpose. The interview is also a behind-the-scenes look about the process of collaborating, creating a business, and simply taking the big, risky leap.
