A new website devoted to selling sheet music by up-n-coming musical theatre writers launches Dec. 11.



NewMusicalTheatre.com features songs penned by Nick Blaemire (Glory Days), Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days), Joe Iconis (The Black Suits, The Plant that Ate the Dirty Socks, Things to Ruin), Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk (Henry & Mudge, Tales from the Bad Years, The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown), Ryan Scott Oliver (Darling, Mrs. Sharp, Rated RSO) and Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dogfight, Edges).

The goal of the new site, according to press notes, is to create "a direct connection between people who write music and people who want to perform and listen to it. It provides an affordable and legal one-stop shop for musical theater fans and performers to discover and share the work of self-published writers."

Site features include custom songbooks, song ratings, and a search engine that allows singers to browse for new audition songs.

In a statement composer Gwon said, "The site's an extension of what we all do in the real world — support each other's work. To have a site that not only gets our music out to people who want to sing it, but helps those people discover other young writers, is amazing. It's bursting the doors of the new musical theater community open to the whole world."
