FEATURING SONGS FROM DANNY DECKER’S MUSICALS: HOUSE OF EERIE FIGURES ASMR: THE EXPERIENCE SOUTH SHORE BEACH THE ROOM: A MUSICAL SATIRE THE RUTLES: THE MEN. THE MYTHS. THE MUSIC...AL.

ABOUT THE COMPOSER I first fell in love with theatre at age 3 when I heard Michael Crawford sing the eerie Phantom tune “Music of the Night.” I sat next to a little radio and listened to it on repeat.

By age 11, I discovered I could write songs - that composing musical theatre was an opportunity for me to dive into characters, convey emotion with music, express the mood to tell a story. Over the years since then, I’ve written six musicals (one on the way), four plays and worked on additional projects.

It wasn’t until the last five years that I started showing the world my work, coming out of my shell, still afraid people would hate it. But, I’m learning to be proud of the years of work I’ve put in, what something meant in the moment I wrote it, why it matters. With that, I can’t wait to share some of what I’ve been hiding in my back pocket with all of you!

Thanks for taking this next part of my journey with me. I couldn’t have done this without any of you nor the talented artists I get to share the stage with.

With Love,

“Give It Up For Yourselves” This one’s for you.

Hey, you made it!

Yeah, I know it isn’t pretty All the grime of New York City But it’s here, where dreams LIVE, And get CRUSHED for the artist.

Yet, it’s the people that make it matter, It’s the people that let it be seen.

It’s not a charity, but your Building a young boy’s dream.

Give a big shout out.

Give it up for yourselves And say “good job, self” Move your right arm left, Pat yourself on the back Try not to break your shoulder.

Give It Up for Yourselves.

Hey, it’s been a week: All the meetings, all the worries, Your unnecessary sorry’s that you say, ‘cause your a good person.

But, you can’t SMILE stiff forever.

Yet, there’s a way to make your week better.

And it’s not the beer in your hand.

There’s no pie in the sky, But I’ll give you my friends with no band.

Give a big shout out.

Give it up for yourselves And say “good job, self” (“Good job self!”)

Yeah the train ride sucks And the tolls are a beast.

Here’s to getting here in one piece!

Give It Up for Yourselves.

Give it up for your— Give it up for your— Give it up for yourselves.

Now there’s no way I can’t be grateful that you spent your leg on tickets, ‘Cause it’s not even free to see a no one like me.

To think I could be playing for crickets.

You could have stayed inside Penn Station where there’s bound to be some in crime in.

You could be at a show on Broadway to see a celebrity shine in.

You could have seen Idina Menzel do her tree hugging and climbing.

But you’re here at GREEN ROOM 42, So, thanks for putting the time in.
