"Chanteuse" is Ready to Go
Be the first company in your area to produce "Chanteuse", a musical about friendship, fame and folk music. After two successful productions in the Austin, Texas area, we are ready to unleash "Chanteuse" to other theatres and other regions.
We can provide you with a script, recorded music for all the songs in the show, and iconic images, plus consult with you on staging and casting, and in some cases, even offer alternative dialogue and music tracks as needed. You can view YouTube videos of our runs at both the Silver Spur Theater in Salado, Texas and The City Theatre in Austin on our "Chanteuse" Cinema page. A medley of the music from "Chanteuse" can be found at http://caliche.tripod.com/chantmedley.mp3. For further information, see the Home page at this website or contact us at chanteusemusical@gmail.com.
The Story
In "Chanteuse" two young women from Texas, Johanna Clarke and Darcy Bailey, go to New York's Greenwich Village to be folk singers in 1959. They are first hired by Sidney Feldman, a former blacklisted comic, who owns The Colloquy Coffeehouse. "Chanteuse" follows the careers and friendships of these three through the turbulent years of the 1960s and 70s up to Darcy's return to perform at her college in 1981.
The Music
Through more than 20 memorable songs in styles ranging from traditional folk to Broadway to French cabaret, "Chanteuse" has the spirit of the 1960s at its core. With ASCAPlus Award winning music by Louise Richardson and the brilliant arrangements and playing of Richard Paul Thomas on guitar, Nelda Milligan and Tyler Mabry on piano "Chanteuse" will captivate you. Our songs will stay in your mind long after you leave the theatre.
"Songs from Chanteuse" CD
