Success!

We are happy to announce that you can get your very own print copy of Success! via the Blurb Bookstore! and via Amazon!

Loosely based on a novel of the same name by Martin Amis and the play Is He Dead? by Mark Twain, Success! is a musical play about two mismatched adoptive brothers--one a slovenly painter and one a scheming socialite--who fake the painter's death in hopes of making money off his paintings.

Success! made the third round of selections at the National Music Theater Conference two years in a row (2013 and '14).

On August 30th, 2015 we performed a successful table reading of the play. Some fantastic actors came and read with me. I played the part of Nicholas, while Mike Arsenault played Gregory, Paige McKinney played Nora, Julianne Nelson played Amanda and Julie, David Mitchum-Brown played Charles and Gazlay, and David Loftus played Timothy and Mikey. We had a marvelous time.

Right now, the recordings on this page are demos with me singing all of the parts and Finale playing the piano. I hope one day to do a cast recording of the songs. Perhaps that’s a future Kickstarter project.

Here you can download the book and score. Here, you can buy a copy of the print version on the Blurb Bookstore. Or, you can order it on Amazon and other online retailers!
