Revision

Writer and filmmaker, Don Roff said “I've found the best way to revise your own work is to pretend that somebody else wrote it and then to rip the living s*** out of it.”

For the last 11 months, Joshua McGuire and I have been revising Yeltsin in Texas!

Songs have been added. Chorus numbers and dancing have been injected. Characters and relationships given more time to breath and develop. The ink is still very wet, the clay certainly malleable. The show may change 100 more times, grow, evolve, take on new perspectives, but one thing these revisions have shown is that Yeltsin in Texas! is going to be a kick-ass musical!.

I reached out to many amazing friends to do virtual demos of the new material, even meeting some great new singers along the way! These demos allowed for more and more revisions.

I hope to give you all updates as this process unfolds and any time there is new news about the show.
