You’re receiving this because you have always been supportive of our creative projects and we thought you might be interested in what we are currently working on. We will be sending monthly newsletters through the summer. We are so excited to tell you about the latest happenings on our journey to bring this story to the audiences far and wide.
The Story
The story is inspired by true events and follows a woman’s journey to find happiness again after being heartbroken when her fiancé leaves her at the altar and subsequently navigating the minefield that is online dating.
Fall 2025 Review
Last fall, we put on a sold-out concert at the off-broadway theater, The Triad. It featured half of the songs from the musical. Performers included broadway vets, stand up comedians, and Taylor Sage Evans, who is recently made her Broadway debut in Beaches.
Media Buzz
The New York Post featured a great piece about the concert and the story of the musical! You can read that here.
Fox 5 New York also interviewed Noelle and Michael about the concert on the 6 o’clock news!
Music Video
The music video of our first single “Hi It’s Me” is sung by Kristina Leopold and accompanied by our musical director, Michael Herlihy. Kristina and Michael are both currently working on Broadway in Titanique. Kristina is starring on stage while Michael is playing in the pit.
The Journey Continues
Coming off the success of the concert and media attention, we had a successful round of fundraising with the intention of bringing our show to a developmental phase.
We hope to create a beautiful piece of art that is also commercially viable for a wide audience. We are also currently in talks with some potential industry partners who are excited to develop the piece alongside us.
We’re looking forward to formal table reading in the next few weeks, a developmental lab this summer, and a workshop presentation this Fall.
