It's a work in progress (though I doubt I will ever finish it, I've always disliked the commercialism and glitter associated with musicals) and what we did on Wednesday was to present 6 of the key songs of the musical at the Esplanade concourse (the open area between the two main halls).
I accompanied my singers on the piano. It was my first time playing there and the acoustics were really good (the music reverberated well because of the high ceiling domes).
Anyway, the audience enjoyed my songs, though there's some feedback about it being similar and soppy. Well, I can only write sentimental and syrupy songs, so sue me!!

I wasn't nervous, unlike playing classical music, when I will get more worked up as it's much more emotionally draining.

As we made our way into our room, we passed by rooms with
actors from The Phantom of the Opera dressing up, there were wigs,
