Hello, everyone!

I saw were it was only appropriate to do self-promo related to musical creation, so I figured this would be a great way to bring the musical community together whether you are completely new at writing musicals and really music in general (like me) or a writer familiar with the craft of musical creation. I created a Discord server specifically for the purpose of sharing your creations with others, interacting with other people in voice chats specific to what your interests are, and asking for feedback and collaboration. I am also hoping to provide opportunities for table reads, songs of the week, script workshops, learning opportunities, and games (finish the lyric, karaoke night, musical roulette, etc.) to help the community continue to show support and expand their creativity. I would definitely need a lot of help with getting this community up and running to its fullest potential, so if there is anyone that knows their way around Discord and/or has been a mod or admin in another server, I would definitely be interested in seeing if anyone would want that position in my server. I still feel like my Discord server skills need some work, so I could definitely use some assistance in helping make sure I have everything running smoothly if anyone has some pointers. I also want to support everyone's interests as much as possible, so if you would like, let me know if there is anything you would want me to add or change in the server to make it more appealing to everyone's interests. I plan on making it a big priority as well to bring attention to this subreddit as well because it has been a really helpful one in my musical creation process. I mostly created this community because I saw that, when I put in musical creation in Discord's discovery search, there was not one server dedicated to musical creation and collaboration. With that being said, I hope you all will find some enjoyment from this server. I will have the link to my server posted below for anyone that is interested. Thank you!

Hi, everyone!

Over the past few months, I have put my all into this project. I want to make sure that this could genuinely work, because I am very passionate about it.

The idea is for it to be a 2 act crime musical set during the 1950s in Las Vegas involving a mafia family, a professional heist crew, and two government spies who end up having their worlds collide after their failures lead to them discovering the details of a top secret, dangerous government project. The musical's world often involves casinos and government nuclear testing considering how much of an impact they had on 1950s Las Vegas culture. As a sidenote, I plan on making any casino names, government facility names, nicknames, and mafia names fictional to the best of my ability.

The musical style for each of the groups will be unique, but I am currently still trying to determine what each group's musical influences and leitmotifs are going to be. It will bring in themes of betrayal and trust, consequences of crime and power, family vs chosen family, vengeance, and redemption.

If anyone has any additional questions on anything or feedback on things that may need to change or be built further on, I will be sure to respond promptly. I always appreciate constructive criticism, so please provide it if you feel that anything needs to change or be elaborated on.

Thank you!
