Wine Lovers Debuts in New Orleans
We gave birth to the world's first interactive wine tasting musical in the great city of New Orleans in May as part of the New Orleans Wine and Food Festival. Our New York-based production team was top notch, and they made the rehearsal and performance process joyful and professional. It was thrilling to see the show come to life in front of a live audience, and the response to the show has been overwhelmingly positive.

 

Now that the creative team has settled back into New York, we are editing the show to make it even better.  We are also meeting with several interested producers. The plan is to do a staged reading in New York for potential investors in the fall, and then to mount the show in a location to be determined this winter.  We will keep you posted with any updates on the show.
