Episode two of Bite-Sized Broadway is out. This time I had the pleasure of producing and orchestrating Blue Cross Blues, a Kafka-esque comedy about a middle-aged man trapped in a series of phone calls with his health insurance company (it’s funnier than it sounds). Featuring Ann Harada, Alan H Green, Karen Mason, and Lance Burton.
Because they’re a middle-aged couple, I wanted to orchestrate it in an older style, so I had a ton of fun orchestrating it in the style of a 1990s off-Broadway musical. Saxophone tremolos? Check. DX7 Clav sounds? Check. And because most of the show takes place over the phone we got to do a lot of fun stuff with sound design.
What are you waiting for? Check it out!
