Harold! the Musical
"Harold! the Musical" represents my first foray into the world of musical theatre, and my first serious collaboration with my sister. This one-act musical tells the story of Harold, a fun-loving man who lives in a world that's obsessed with work (even the teddy bears wear business suits), places money above happiness, and abhors singing. Harold dreams of escaping to a world where everyone sings all the time and no one has to do any work... and he just might get his wish. We received a grant to produce a semi-staged version of this darkly comic musical at the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts at Brandeis University in 2010.
