San Francisco writer is looking for collaborators.

I've got an idea for a musical, but I'm lacking a lyricist and a composer. My ex-boyfriend wrote some of the lyrics, but I'm looking for new collaborators. There is one song written. If the original material can't be used in this new project, that's okay.

Willow Wild synopsis:

Danny, a sixteen year old orphan, is haunted by the loss of his mother. He returns to Boston to find the truth. While he's visiting her grave, he befriends a girl, Brannigan. With the help of the girl's Governess, he's able to find direction that points to the girl's father. When the father gets wind of the situation, he orders Edward, Brannigan's future husband, to take care of it. After Edward fails, and Brannigan runs away, the hunt is on for both of them. Danny's caught first, and when Brannigan finds out, she returns to Willow Wild. Secrets are revealed about Danny's mother's murder, but also about Danny himself.

I've written an outline that includes 20+ songs. I want big. We want a lush, powerful, emotional score to match my story. Something along the lines of Les Miserables.

If you're interested in even talking about the project, please email me.

How about some details on the potential orchestral (or other) forces, and the types of singers you invisage being available for such a project.
This will help you get replies from more suitable people, and give the composer a chance to know what he might be dealing with.

Main female is a soprano. Main female is a tenor. The antagonist is a baritone. All common in musical theatre.

What do you mean by, "potential orchestral (or other) forces"?

I'm knew at this whole composing thing.

I mean I assume it's not all just to be accompanied by a piano? If there would be an orchestra, what size? What instruments? What level (of ability)?

Since it is a stage musical, the orchestra would be small. I'll have to do more research on orchestra sizes. I would assume 10-15 members. They have to fit in that iddy bitty pit.

We wanna go to Broadway, so it needs to meet those standards. That means whoever we choose should have a comprehensive knowledge of musical theatre. An interest in musical theatre would be necessary.

Hi! I have e-mailed you. I am very interested in the project, and musical theater in general. Hope the search goes well.
