Together, they are striving to provide fresh, relevant musical theatre for young people and <em>Just a Second<\/em> is aimed at providing an exciting alternative for future high school performance. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Existing repertoire choices for school musicals can mean that content is not contemporary and relevant; the rights of some &#8220;big hit&#8221; musicals can take many years to be released; they can be costly and can leave students with the feeling that they&#8217;re not performing anything fresh or relevant to them. In writing <em>Just A Second<\/em>, Alice and Will have written a musical that aims to complement the strengths of young people and of a school with relevant subject matter. It offers affordability, adaptability and a contemporary spin.\u00a0\u00a0The project has won considerable public support with its initiation made possible by crowd funding.<\/p>\n<p>Alice is a composer whose music is widely commissioned and performed throughout Sydney and internationally. She has worked with ensembles such as the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellowship, Sydney Children\u2019s Choir and Sydney Youth Orchestras.\u00a0 Her work has been performed throughout the USA and England. She has experience in tutoring and conducting youth choirs. This year she co-wrote and Music Directed the Con Revue with Will Yaxley.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From an early age, Will has sung and toured with the Christchurch Cathedral Choir, NZ, soloing in Westminster Abbey and St Paul&#8217;s, London.\u00a0 He has played lead roles\u00a0in The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Chicago and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum as well as smaller roles in Guys and Dolls, Sweeney Todd.\u00a0 His work has been premiered by the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra. \u00a0 This year he co-wrote and directed the Con Revue with Alice Chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/justasecond.iwannaticket.com.au\/event\/just-a-second-Nzc3OQ\">Click here<\/a> to book.<a href=\"http:\/\/justasecond.iwannaticket.com.au\/event\/just-a-second-Nzc3OQ\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pozible.com\/project\/183224\">Click here<\/a> for more details at Pozible. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pozible.com\/project\/183224\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a new musical premiering in Sydney, written by two young composers and aimed at creating fresh\u00a0material for future performance by&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"sls_format":[],"class_list":["post-17762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shows"],"acf":{"deck":"","is_featured":false,"media_type":"standard","audio_embed":"","video_url":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
