hi, there... i'm a young italian composer and i'm in search of a lyricist-playwright with good ideas for a new musical play... someone who could write a brilliant book and a few good lyrics, i don't care if in english or american...

i'm a playwritgh on my own, before in the just-spoken theatre then in the musical theatre with the drama "La neve sui prati d'inverno", but it would be great if someone could help me, leaving me just composing the score...

if someone's there, just contact me here...

Hi, Alvise,

Great samples on MySpace.. congratulations.

Send me a synopsis of your musical. I'm very curious to know the plot.

(One of your overtures has a sound similar to what I'm looking for my Christmas song.)

all the best,

Dex

it a bit hard for me to translate the plot of my musical... but i'll try..

so...

ACT I -We are in the falling winter of 1989, in a small town of East Germany; Georg, a clerk employed in a burocratic office, falls in love with Alexandra, a ski-champion, who is come to the office to get her passport to take part at the up-coming World Ski Championship in Crans-Montana, Switzerland; Alexandra says no to Georg; she has a secret: once in Switerland, she will escape to France thanks to his father, a general of the Comunist Government; Georg, together with an american journalist, Bill, thinks to escape to Swizterland to meet with Alexandra;

ACT II - We are in Crans Montana, on the Chrismtas Day; Alexandra meets Georg, but says no again about their love: she can't explain, but their relationship will never work; then we follow the characters in the big christmas party the hotel offers to the vacationists; at the party, Georg has the possibility to talk to Alexandra, and she tells him all about her escape to France; Georg, happy indeed, says that if is this the problem, it can be solved easly: they will escape together; during the party, the two escapes through the forest; but Georg is captured by the body-guards who used to take care the ski team;

ACT III - We follow here the main characters in to different places: Georg in prison in Berlin and Alexandra, free and famous in U.S.A.; Alexandra never forgot Georg, and she tried several times to find him, unsuccessfully; Alexandra listens to radio that something's happening in Europe: people in Berlin are really sad about government and they made a lot of strikes; In Berlin, the heads of Comunist Party order to the generals that no one of the politic prisoners will obtain freedoom, also if the government is in the complete caos; the general in head of the prison communicates to Georg the decision of the government, so Georg decides to kills himself; Alexandra flights to Berlin and tries to meet her father, who now is general in head in a prison, in Berlin; once there, she confesses to her father the love for a boy named Georg; her father says that probably there is in that politic prison someone named Geor; he brings her to Georg's cell, but they find only his corpse; the musical ends with the drammatical shout of Alexandra when she look at Georg, dead, and with an instrumental finale.

I don't know if i was clear, i tried to do the best...

So, what i want to do, by now, it's to find a more light subject... will be great an one act play in the stile of neil simon, with a bit of humor, a lot of laughs for the theater-goers, ten easy-listening song... that will be great... that is what i've tried to do in my second musical, and it's gone...

i need, now, a third one...

i will reduce in one act the three-act musical selecting the best songs, making an easyer plot and reducing the 60-piecies orchetration into 20-piecies, then i will combine this one together with the second and, if someone will help me, the third... it's like composing a "Trittico"...
