A MUSICAL WRITTEN ON MYSPACE IN 80 DAYS?

In what is a major new innovation, two men – one lyricist, one composer – are undertaking the challenge of writing a musical. Not so special you might say, but Robert Gray and Christian Calcatelli, in a brilliant idea and a significant challenge, aim to compose this original musical theatre show entirely over the internet.

This unique project, entitled Manikins, began on January 11 and has only 80 days to go from scratch to production.

Robert and Christian are utilising the opportunities the web offers for social networking such as Myspace, to offer an amazing glimpse into the composition process behind a musical. As composer Christian and lyricist Robert interact with each other over the project, you will be able to share in the blood, sweat, tears and raw passion behind the creation of such a major artistic product. These two will let it all hang out in cyberspace, as personality clashes, challenges and unexpected events all contrive to add spice to the creative process.
