Development Pitch
THIS WAS ORIGINALLY SCRIPTED AS A THEATRICAL MUSICAL. AT THE CHAIN THEATRE DRAMATIC READING IN NEW YORK, IT RECEIVED A RAVE REVIEW BY BROADWAYWORLD.COM. THE AUDIOBOOK INCLUDES MUCH OF THE DRIVING MUSIC AND ATMOSPHERE THAT ILLUSTRATES THE ENTERTAINING, HUMOROUS, DRAMATIC, POIGNANT, EMPATHETIC PLOTLINE. THIS WILL MAKE A TIMELY MOTION PICTURE THAT WILL HAVE THE AUDIENCE LAUGHING, PERHAPS EVEN CRYING AND FINALLY CHEERING WITH APPLAUSE AS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS FINALLY ABLE TO OVERCOME A LIFETIME OF PAIN AND TRULY BECOME THE PERSON SHE WAS MEANT TO BE!
