One of our major goals is to build a program that is fluid ALBERT: Ian, you’ve been the music supervisor at The and flexible, able to respond to the specific needs of each 5th Avenue for several years, but now you have a new piece. For example, we’re working with a three-person writing position added to your job title: The 5th Avenue Theatre team from LA. The book writer approached a composer and Alhadeff Family Director of New Works. Tell us about that. a lyricist with a great idea for a new musical.

We have partnered with outside producers to So, for them, we are hosting a week-long writers’ retreat in a develop and present numerous shows for our mainstage, quiet, serene environment where they will be provided with such as Hairspray, The Wedding Singer, Memphis, Aladdin, writing materials, meals, and artistic support. Of course that’s Catch Me If You Can, and A Christmas Story. And we’re in just one example. the second year of a fruitful partnership with ACT Theatre, combining our resources to co-produce smaller-scaled And what about projects that are further along? shows — shows that might be lost on the 5th Avenue stage. First Date is this year’s co-production. Well, musical theater is a highly collaborative art form — a show cannot be created in a vacuum. As soon as a draft And now the launch of the New Works program will enable is complete — and even sometimes before — it is vital to us to support and encourage writers at every stage of the see and hear your work being rehearsed and performed by creative process — from initial idea through production. actors. You don’t know what you have ‘til you see and hear other people performing it.

For a project that’s further along, we might host a more involved And oftentimes, the producer has the initial idea and workshop: one or two weeks of rehearsal, at the end of which assembles a creative team to realize it.

Readings and workshops tend to be the most refining Whatever the path, a musical is a collaboration every step process for any new musical. Brilliant new songs, new of the way. Anyone who doesn’t enjoy working with other scenes and major changes to the show often happen during people and exposing themselves and their work to the the reading and workshop process. refining process that every musical must undergo really should consider another field. But for those of us who love How much will this cost the writers? collaborating, there’s nothing more satisfying than working with a team of passionate artists to create a new musical. Nothing. This program is funded by grants and gifts to The 5th Avenue. So the creators will be free to create, unburdened So I guess you like your job? by the need to raise money to rent rehearsal space, hire actors and musicians, and cover all the other related costs. I do. I’m thrilled. Even copying music and scripts can strain the budgets of struggling authors!

Sounds great. So, what is the typical path a new musical takes from idea to realization? Suppose I’m a playwright who wants to write a musical about, oh . . . Joan of Arc. How do I get the project started?

Unless you happen to be one of those rare writers who does book, music, and lyrics, you have to find collaborators who share your enthusiasm. If you’re writing the book — the script — you need a composer and a lyricist. Typically, you don’t work in isolation. You all sit down in a room and talk about the style. Is it a serious drama or a spoof? Will the music sound like 15th century France (to use your Joan of Arc example) or today? How will the story be told — will the style be naturalism or heightened fantasy? How many actors do you need to tell the story? How will you deal with the burning-at-the-stake problem?

Is it a good idea to get a producer involved early on?

Sometimes. Producers can be very helpful in bringing together a larger creative team: director, choreographer, designers (who may have a brilliant solution to the burning- at-the-stake), music director, musical arrangers, and so on.

A beautiful and unique Seattle landmark, The 5th Avenue Theatre’s breathtaking design was inspired by ancient Imperial China’s most stunning architectural achievements, including the magnificent Forbidden City. Built in 1926 for vaudeville and silent pictures, The 5th Avenue reigned for decades as Seattle’s favorite movie palace. In 1979, forty-three companies and community leaders formed the non-profit 5th Avenue Theatre Association. Their goal was to restore the Theatre to its original splendor. A $2.6 million restoration was accomplished without any public funding from federal, state or city sources. The 5th Avenue re-opened in 1980 as Seattle’s premier home for national touring shows. Nine years later, The 5th Avenue Musical Theatre Company was established to offer a mix of top-quality, self- produced musicals and the best of touring Broadway.
