THE EUROBEAT GOES ON!
Wednesday, 25 February 2009
Having been nominated in November 2008 for the Evening Standard Award for Best New Musical on London's West End, the production of Eurobeat - Winning Is Everything was nominated for Best New Musical in the People's Choice Awards. At the award anouncement in mid February we came out ahead of a number of heavyweight contenders to poll third most popular new musical of 2008.
In a further exciting development Eurobeat will be performed in Lucerne in May for the Eurovision Summit where top representatives from the European Broadcasting Union will be gathering for the most significant event of their calender year.
It is with great pride and excitement that I can formally announce the new musical theatre work commissioned in Nashville, USA. HEY FLORENCE is a musical based on the lives and stories of nurses and will premiere in Nashville in 10th September 2009.
After the spectacular success of Rev It Up in 2008 the show for Book Week 2009 is already in development. The new production will be titled JUNGLE BUNGLE and we are looking forward to creating another fantastic musical for primary school students throughout Australia and internationally
EUROBEAT - Amsterdam
Sunday, 06 July 2008
I am currently well underway with writing the sequel to Eurobeat. Set in Amsterdam, the new Eurobeat will feature an entirely new contingent of entries including songs from United Kingdom, Poland, Ukraine, Vatican City, Norway and Ireland. An opening spectacular is planned and the half time entertainment showstopper is called 'Get You Finger Out Of My Dyke' so once again there is something for all the family to be swept away by. There are no dates confirmed for Eurobeat - Amsterdam but it is expected it will premiere in the second half on 2009 in the U.K.
