Epic Fail

Well, the title of this post is pretty fitting for a couple of reasons. One because of how quickly and horribly I failed at keeping this blog updated with any form of frequency. Two, and more importantly, because on December 5th I performed in a concert/cabaret at Comix called "Epic Fail: Broadway's Future Flops". I worked on a few pieces for the evening, one of which has video on youtube!

1. "Dungeons and Dragons and Me" from Dungeons and Dragons: the musical. Music by: David Mallamud. Lyrics by: Ashley Griffin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKEWuKUXGSQ

2. "Infatuated" from American Beauty: the musical. Music and Lyrics by: Seth Bisen-Hersh.

3. A Gilbert and Sullivan style song about teen pregnancy. Music and Lyrics by: Rachel Bloom (who can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1IxOS4VzKM)

The evening went really well and was a lot of fun. My good friend David John Madore served as our brilliant music director and accompanist. Also, he wrote a fantastic number from "Super Size Me: the musical".

So, what's the next thing? I'm not sure yet! Still working on the song cycle and I'm starting a band with Andy Mientus and Stephen Amato. More on that as it develops. Let's hope take 2 of this blog goes better than the first.

Best,

Evan
