Wonderful Guy" and

For one lively and informative hour,
Carrie explores the Courage of the Creative Spirit, as shown to us by the greats
of musical theater, such as Rodgers & Hammerstein.
She tells their inspiring stories of overcoming failure,
mistakes, lack of money and education, writer’s block, and physical pain to go on to
greatness and success. After each story, she sings a song from one of
their musicals.
Learn why Stephen Sondheim is not pleased with his lyrics in West Side Story,
how Richard Rodgers came within one day of quitting music altogether and selling
baby clothes instead, and why Alan Jay Lerner had to see a psychiatrist to
finish My Fair Lady. These stories and many more are interwoven
with the music from the golden age of musicals.
Let these great artists inspire you to
dig deep for the courage
to express your own vast creativity and talents freely. Learn how they
relied upon their intuition and each other to make it through the difficult
times.
Also, learn more about
musical theater, like the best way to deal with critics, the answer to the
question, "Which comes first, the music or the words?" and the name of the
composer you may not know, but who changed the face of American
popular music.
The show includes these
wonderful numbers:
The show is then followed by
an
audience sing-along
of favorite songs from the great golden age of musical theater.
The Courage of the Creative Spirit can be accompanied by a musical track and a solo piano (recommended for a formal evening program), or by musical track only, to reduce cost. Carrie lives in the Los Angeles area, but is willing to travel. Carrie has a Professional Speakers license from ASCAP to perform this wonderful music.
