From the Musical Play UNSEEN ANGELS
SYNOPSIS OF THE SHOW
A Musical Play with Book for Musical by A. Michael Storm, Lyrics by A. Michael Storm and Music by AndysOriginalSongs!
SHELDON MARS, the now reclusive (though formerly VERY famous) Composer/Lyricist/Playwright, finds his world of quiet desperation and solitude interrupted when AUDRIAN SMALL comes to visit and interview him! She is a bright young woman who loves Musical Theatre and writes an online Blog for the Theatre community. She wants to be the first to interview the great man in the years since his lover/companion died. LOUIS, the spirit of SHELDON'S deceased life partner is the third character in this three character show. This often bitter, always pointed spirit takes SHELDON to task (unseen and unheard except by the audience) throughout our story!
The interview becomes contentious at times and often is rife with laughter and tears. As AUDRIAN talks with one of her Theatre idols, she draws out ghosts from his past and, in doing so, from her own! Both come to grips with who they were,are, and must become under the watchful eye of LOUIS.
There are ten (10) musical numbers in this Musical Play. SHELDON is featured in THE SOUND, HOLLOW, WORDS AND MUSIC, and the tragic I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN YOU A LOVE SONG; AUDRIAN gives voice to BITTERSWEET LULLABY and LOUIS gives us ONLY GOD KNOWS and the heartbreaking and show stopping INVISIBLE MAN; SHELDON and AUDRIAN combine for the duo number 3A.M. / FAKING IT; and all three characters combine for the trio number CONVERSATION PIECES and in the Finale UNSEEN ANGELS, LOUIS and AUDRIAN provide the vocals with SHELDON on the piano!
A. Michael Storm's Book brings both gales of laughter and rivers of tears as it tells the story of how life can twist and turn and how we often find ourselves reflecting later in life on just how we came to be what and where we are!
Though the songs from this show may be smaller in number than those in a large Musical, the impact of each number is as great as any song from any show. A. Michael Storm's Lyrics and AndysOriginalSongs beautiful Music tell the story every bit as fully as the Book!
