Find A Collaborator

"We have a completed script for Hip Hop Frankenstein. The full first draft of the book and rap lyrics is written. We have parted ways with the original composer/song lyricist and are now seeking a new collaborator. We are looking for a contemporary sound driven by modern pop and hip-hop music production—fresh beats, bold textures, and a sonic language that feels urgent, alive, and dangerous. https://www.hiphopmusicals.com/hip-hop-frankenstein The writing team of Hip Hop Frankenstein is energized by the enduring and urgent themes of arrogance, isolation, abandonment, revenge, and the high-stakes ethical fallout of runaway technological ambition. We are drawn to creating characters who push the moral boundaries of science, interrogate the responsibilities of parenthood, grapple with the human need to belong, and confront the dangers of playing God. By fusing the operatic emotional intensity of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel with the dynamic spirit and urgency of hip-hop culture, we aim to ignite audiences with a contemporary exploration of Creation and Innovation, Identity and Transformation, and Rejection and Alienation—themes that we believe resonate powerfully within the world we are living in today."

"Composer seeking lyricist/librettist with a completed or near-complete book and lyrics for an actively developing musical. My strongest work comes from setting existing text and story rather than early-stage co-creation, and I’m especially interested in clear, song-driven writing with traditional musical-theatre structure (verse/chorus forms rather than through-composed). I’m looking to work with a writer who has prior experience with musical-theatre craft and a clear vision for next development steps (readings, submissions, showcases, etc.) once music is in place, and who is proactive about moving work forward. I prefer to collaborate primarily via email and am based in Los Angeles, so long-distance collaboration should be comfortable. I’ve written multiple full scores and had work performed in NYC cabaret/showcase settings. Selected music available on request; personal album Fairy Tales by Alexander Zwick is available on Spotify and Amazon Music."
