A musical tale of the French Resistance
There is a brand new version of the full score, vocal score and libretto of SEA CHANGE, a musical for 5 actors. This musical is about five people who are stuck, or at an impasse in their lives. The experience of living together on a yacht and being stranded in a life raft forces them to wake up and to open up. And it changes them. Stephen comments:
“Very pleased to have the updated piano score, libretto and orchestrations for SEA CHANGE, a musical for 5 actors….The show would be ideal for a theatre which seats 200 to 500 people.”
