Thank you very much my friend. I trust in this process an will continue to post developments

cheers again

I have to say i didn't post on this website to ask your personal feelings about my formal writing, i did it to try and ask the opinions good or bad of the fans for which we are grateful. some of the comments made leave a little to be desired regarding how much these fans are actually finding within the music of Pet Sounds. If we are truly fans of what is arguably the greatest album in the history of the world then we'd be like minded enough to respect people's postings. I'm very grateful to those of you who have answered my posting responsibly with both bad and good comments. Those of you who haven't should realise this is a facility so people can discuss a groups beautiful work, rather than sitting in all night to see who you can castegate irresponsibly

regards

Currently the musical is pencilled for summer dates 2007, stretching across the South of the UK. There are currently discussions taking place in trying to make it one of the flagship performances in the theatre area of the Glastonbury Music Festival next summer also. We hope then to travel to Edinburgh Festival in August of next year, and then will be assessed for script alterations for possible incumbency in a London theatre

Unfortunately not, and unfortunately not the same FatCat as your attached link suggests. We are an arm working with a number of producers of big west end shows, this project has the backing of a 30 piece orchestra, a number of luminaries from the theatre world, and also the contact of Capitol Records and brianwilson.com over developments in the script and concept.

But we just want to hear your opinions, so please do not hold back!

Dear all message boarders!

My name is Nick Westwood, founder and President of FATCAT productions UK, and i am posting here to ask the fans opinion on the production of a new and very exciting adaptation of the music of Pet Sounds into a dramatic stage musical following this, the greatest story book album ever made. semi biographical of brian and his brothers, it charts the lives of young men and women in sixties America, dealing with new found liberties and freedom whilst still hanging on to the innocence and oppression of the past.


Charlie our lead, is a young man who has fled to California to avoid his father's mssion to join up. On his arrival he meets and befriends Caroline, a wild spirited girl disillussioned by her boyfriend Dennis's friends and lifestyle. Finding common ground the two discover a new kind of love together. Learning from his mistakes and the respect Charlie gives Caroline Dennis seeks to win her back, opening up his heart in a way someone like he never thought possible, in the form of God Only Knows. The story is a discussion of appearance versus reality, much like the 60's was, liberational on the surface yet inherantly oppressive underneath. The second half of the musical sees Charlie deteriorate as all his best efforts cannot win Caroline back. Beseiged by demons, and riddled with insecurity Charlie's only way out appears to be to confront dennis once and for all. As Caroline finds Charlie in the finale, he hysterically sings 'I'm waiting for the day', the lyric 'you didn't think, that i would let you go, you didn't think that i would let him take you?', leading Caroline to end her life in despair for her love, only for us to find Dennis is alive.

It is an exploration of love good and bad, of how the album can be read positively and negatively, but above all about burning passion, ending on devastation, but symbolising far much more.


Sticking wholeheartedly to the original music and using session recordings, this is a plot driven by the music, a soundtrack to a piece of theatre in the same way as it has so often been used on film.

So what do the fans think? is this heresy? or is it just another chapter, another facet to the depth of this great composition?

Please, let me know, the piece has much support, but its you the fans i find needing convincing.
