In Real Life - A New Musical
Toronto, CANADA - Ok, this one is special to me. This is the project that led to this entire site being created. On March 13, I was at the end of the first week of rehearsals for In Real Life, a new musical - book and lyrics by me (Nick Green), music and lyrics by (the amazing) Kevin Wong. The show is a dystopian sci-fi musical in which youth live and learn technological cubes and little access to the outside world. Sound familiar? Given the times, we decided to continue working the show over Zoom. The cast was unbelievable, the creative team ASTOUNDING (all credited below), and the leadership of director Ann Hodges was deeply inspiring.
In the end, we created a music video of the opening number of the show, called A Million. I am SO proud to share it with you. Enjoy and please share!
