Sasquatched! The Musical
Are you looking for a great show for general audiences with
contemporary themes and dialogue, catchy music, and the promise of a
good time for all? Then look no further than Sasquatched! The
Musical.
Reasons why Sasquatched! The Musical is a highly
producible piece with great audience appeal:
- The show is funny and fast-moving, the songs are short; the
running time is about 100 minutes; the show can be performed
in one long act OR in two acts with an intermission
- The show has wide popular appeal: it's appropriate for general
audiences and children, yet has significant social commentary
appealing to adults and critics; the title immediately invokes the
show's comic nature and its emphasis on satire and fun
- The size of the cast is scalable; it can be produced with 12
actors doubling as chorus members, or it can be cast with 12 major
speaking roles and a supporting ensemble (chorus) of 4-8 persons
- The acting burden is spread relatively evenly; the dialogue is quick, most of the lines are relatively short; every speaking
role sings at least 2-3 songs and carries an intermittent series
of scenes; no single character is onstage for too long
- With the exception of the main Sasquatch outfit, costuming for
the show is contemporary and straightforward
- Scenic design can be minimal; only a few scenic elements are
required: a log, a bar, a few trees and bushes; a lawn chair and a
few bar stools, etc.
- Sound design elements are also simple and few in number
- The musical instrumentation is relatively simple, and can be
played in full with a band of 5 persons (piano, keyboards, bass,
drums. guitar); theoretically, it could also be played by a
smaller ensemble or even just by a single
piano player
- Audiences love the show - read the
audience quotes
NOTE: Sasquatched! The Musical has a special
agreement with Stage Rights to allow full scale commercial
Off-Broadway, Broadway, and West End (London) productions. The show
is free of licensing entanglements which might prevent its
advancement.
