New Challanges
« on: Jun 26, 2016, 01:32 pm »
So, I have been on the road almost a year with LION KING . . . hard to believe. 

But, there are new projects on the horizon - I am able to take a 9 week LOA, and I am off to Tokyo to be the Associate Director and Associate Production Supervisor for Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.  This means, I go for four weeks and direct the musical at the Shiki Theatre in Tokyo https://www.shiki.jp/applause/notredame/special/release/.  Oddly this means the first musical I will ever "direct" (and it really is to recreate the former staging) is in a foreign language . . .  so, jumping in with two feet.  Honored that Disney is allowing me this wonderful opportunity.  End of the day, you never know where the road will take you . .. 

I will miss the Pridelands for bit, but I will be back in time for the Holidays.
