"Creating a new musical in a huge task, both creatively and financially" said Toby Simkin. He continued "Having a creative brain trust of experienced experts collaborating at the table, earlier than later in the development process, provides better insurance for success and more harmony in the final stages of rehearsal." Asked why he his posting publically, he said "In the true spirit of international production, we want to consider the best of the best from around the world, not just from my iPhone contact list."
