British stage director Victor Kazan walks into the Prince of Wales pub in Drury Lane, seeking out the musical director of the London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS, playing just up the road at the New London Theatre (now the Gillian Lynn Theatre).
So begins a writing partnership of 27 years and counting. Four musicals later, with a 5 th musical on the drawing board, Australia’s most experienced and successful musical theatre writing team is about to change the way new musicals are seen and heard.
It’s a secret going to be shared around Thanksgiving, November 2022, in New York and then…well, everywhere! Writing timeless-sounding songs with contagious melodies and perceptive lyrics, Kazan & Purcell seamlessly mix pop, classical and cinematic sounds into beautifully-crafted ‘stories’ that are utterly captivating for audiences everywhere.
