A young American kid had a great idea for a musical.
He took the finished script to a friend of the family who lived down the street. Next day he went back for an unbiased professional opinion of the work. The neighbour looked him straight in the eye and said: "It's the worst thing I've ever read." He then proceeded to teach the kid more about musical theatre in one afternoon than most peope learn in a lifetime.
Unfortunately, not everyone has Oscar Hammerstein for a neighbour. Nor does every kid grow up to be Stephen Sondheim.
Nothing guarantees success in musical theatre. But plenty of things guarantee failure.
