The news that Clinton the Musical is definitely set to
run off-Broadway has prompted me to ask this week on the Simon Morris blog;
what the bloody hell is Clinton the
Musical?
Clinton the Musical Set for Off-Broadway Premiere.
Imagine this. A slightly tired Simon Morris is on his laptop.
He’s surfing around until he sees ‘Clinton the
Musical Set for Off-Broadway Premiere’ on Google. What would he do? Of
course he clicked it.
This actually happened. I clicked
through and discovered an article which revealed that Clinton the Musical...

If you’re the type of person who
succeeds by learning what not to do keep reading, as this week on the SimonMorris blog I let you know how to blow a musical theatre audition.
Set Yourself Apart from the Competition
Musical theatre is a competitive
industry. Each role has a thousand contenders, with only one actor destined to
fill its shoes. You need to separate yourself from every other auditionee if
you hope to secure the role of your dreams.
Distinguishing yourself apart
from the competition begins at your very first audition. Nail your...

Following the recent announcement
that Broadway
saw its most lucrative year ever in 2014, this week on the Simon Morris
blog I wonder; what does this say about the Great White Way?
The Centre of the Musical Theatre World
From the time he first gained the
ability to say the word ‘Broadway’ out loud, a young Simon Morris dreamed of going to
see a production in the most famous theatre district the world has ever seen.
Broadway is the centre of the
musical theatre world. Think of a major musical theatre production. It’ll have
played on Broadway...

You’ll be pleased you clicked
onto the Simon Morris blog this week, as I have some mind-blowing news to share
with you. Gypsy is coming back to the
West End for the first time in 40 years!
The Greatest Musical to Ever Grace the Broadway Stage
I can still remember the day that
a musical theatre enthusiast by the name of Simon Morris saw his first ever
production of Gypsy.
It may have been raining outside,
but that did nothing to dampen the joy that filled my heart by the time the
curtain fell on Gypsy. A musical
dedicated to telling the...

We’ve officially entered the
holidays, and this week on the Simon Morris Blog I wanted to help you celebrate
your favourite time of the year by revealing five movie musicals you need to
watch over the holidays.
Simon Morris’ Favourite Time of the Year
Ever since a young Simon Morris first decorated his
first tree, I’ve been a huge fan of Christmas. There’s just something about
this time of the year – the dazzling fairy lights, finding garlands of tinsel everywhere
you look, munching on mince pies with the family round the tree – that just
gets...

With 2015 set to be American
actress Anna Kendrick’s year, this week on the Simon Morris blog I want to
explore the rise of the woman who I believe is the next movie musical
superstar.
A Kid with a TONY Award Nomination
Believe it or not, a young
musical theatre enthusiast by the name of Simon Morris first became
familiar with the work of an even younger Anna Kendrick way back in 1998.
That was the year she received her
first credit on Broadway performing in 90’s musical High Society. Her performance was such a hit that not only did she
bag...

This week, Simon Morris learned
that beloved movie musical Gigi is
destined for Broadway, with High School
Musical alum Vanessa Hudgens slated to star in the title role.
Simon Morris Should Have Lived in Another Decade
When I was a child, I was one of
those precocious kids who would have sworn down, had someone asked him, that I
belonged in another era. Specifically, the era when the classic Hollywood movie
musical reigned supreme.
Many a clock hand turned from 12
to 12, whilst a young Simon
Morris whiled away the hours entranced by the...
