Introduction To A Musical

Hopeless Bleak Despair is a Tragic-Comedy Musical that I decided to write during my writer's block of Tarterrior: The Rise of the Sixth Kingdom. The Musical is an original idea, but the music itself is music taken from the band They Might Be Giants. The story follows Fredrick DuWright, a genius playwright for hire and his friend Jason Malcolm. Fredrick is sought out by producers who are looking for extreme profit in the theatre industry, because of his uncanny ability to write hit plays. One day a large movie producer, Harold Richen, asks Fred to write him a movie screenplay. Fred agrees, although he has never written anything for the Silver Screen before. The story follows Fred and his journey as he attempts to write the screenplay, while keeping his addiction to the drug known as Thunderbird at bay. This musical will be finished soon, as my friends and I are going to be filming it into a long video that will be posted on this website after confirmation of rights from TMBG. I will be posting few updates on this blog, other than character bios and possibly scene-by-scene breakdowns. The project won't take very long, but the end result will be extremely rewarding. I WILL however be posting the cast list very soon, almost as soon as I post the character descriptions. Thanks, and keep checking for more updates!
