Making of the Cabaret
Wassup peeps?! Jepoy (Will) here, having an insomnia episode - so what better to do with my time than write a blog entry. So what to write about. Oh okay. Let me tell you about the upcoming cabaret/concert that will feature the boys of Glory Days.
We thought of this idea a while back during one rehearsal. We were like what can we do to promote the show - and out of nowhere we had this idea of performing a concert version of Glory Days in a bar. From a concert version we figured that it'd be better of as a cabaret - a sneak peak to the show instead of a doing the whole musical.
So off I go searching for a place and a concept for the cabaret. About a week ago I finally was able to secure a venue - at Martuni's Piano Bar in San Francisco. It's a famous lounge that has a dedicated room with an accompanist where people can bring their music and sing their hearts out. It's a perfect venue for us because not only do the patrons there love live music - they also appreciate the arts and support musical theater.
Now that the venue has been settled, the hard part is coming up with a concept for the show. I have always been a fan of this new generation musicals penned by young & upcoming composers. Heck, our musical Glory Days were written by twenty-something buddies Nick Blaemire and James Gardiner. So I thought, as a homage to Nick & James, we would do a cabaret that will showcase their works by young & upcoming composers like them!
Last friday, I gave the boys sheet music and MP3s of songs by some hot young composers like Pasek & Paul, Scott Alan, Kerrigan & Lowdermilk, Adam Gwon, etc. I asked them to learn it and told them we'll be performing it at the cabaret. I tried to match their personality and their voices to the song - and everything seemed to have jived well.
We have a little over a week til the cabaret. Mind you, it's not easy to learn new songs specially ones coming from not-so-famous composers, but I believe in the boys and I know they'll do an awesome job with their new songs.
So yeah. That's how this Glory Boyz Cabaret materialized. Our enthusiasm toward Glory Days led us to create this concert that not only showcase our talents but also feature wonderful songs by composers from our generation!
The boys have put so much time and dedication towards this project, so I hope you peeps can drop by and come see this special performance. For more info check out the facebook invite page.
Looking forward to seeing y'all there!
Peace out!
