Word is getting out about our musical, and we are often stopped by people who ask us about it. A lot of times, people are surprised by the amount of time and work that we’ve put into it. By the time it’s performed, it will be quite difficult to assess how much time we’ve spent on it, but we really don’t want to look at it that way. This has been a big part of our lives ever since we started working on it a year and a half ago. As the time approaches, it will become an even bigger part.
In many ways, this project has become a part of us, not in a self-sacrificing martyr sense, but in an identity sense. That’s a good thing now as we work toward making this project a success, but it makes us wonder what we will do after it’s done. Because of other things we’re hoping to do, it’s not likely that we’ll start writing another musical. Maybe we’ll just promote it in other places so that other people will start performing it in other places and we’ll get to travel the world watching our own show (yeah right). For now however, it is a project that adds meaning and motivation to the routine of the rest of our lives. We’ll worry about filling that void later.
