Review: THE PERFECT MATE Is Fantastic, and Fantastical, at Pittsburgh CLO Photo
Review: THE PERFECT MATE Is Fantastic, and Fantastical, at Pittsburgh CLO
by Greg Kerestan - Feb 14, 2024

CLO's Spark program has a large-sized hit with the latest small-scale musical it commissioned. As a musical writer, let me just say: it's TOUGH to launch a new musical. The best thing you can do is have a company commission a show from you based on your pitch, otherwise you're going to have a long, difficult but hopefully rewarding journey as an indie theatre creator. (Ask me how I know!)
