About the Author
Richard Andrews has to date worked on twenty-two West End shows, of which eighteen were new pieces. These have ranged from the hugely successful Jesus Christ Superstar and Me and My Girl to the spectacularly unsuccessful Barnado and Jukebox with both ends of the spectrum providing a useful learning experience. During this time his work has covered all aspects of theatre production, from stage manager through to producer. In 1988 Richard Andrews co-founded FACADE, an organisation which creates, promotes and produces new works in musical theatre.

Righting A Musical,
This review is from: Writing a Musical (Paperback)
This book is not the best one for starting on. There are certain truths about theatre and productions which are left out. The book is an excellent resource if you are writing a musical, although I think you may find some of the example a bit pityful! I think they should label that section How NOT To Write A Musical! But, as I said, this book is good for using if you wish to shape your musical on the final drafts. There's also a very good resource page, which gives addresses and websites for resources and publishers, producers etc. Before you buy this think whether you are almost happy with a peice you've already started writing, if not then you will need another book. But some sections are very good.
