Make A Change
2009
"Make A Change" was a musical that Ken Bradbury directed in 2009, with the production taking shape across the late summer and fall of that year. What survives most fully in the archive is its music: a complete set of recorded numbers, mixed down to a single "Whole Show" track, that captures the energy and spirit of the staged production.
The score is a lively, varied one, ranging from the marching cadences of "Pre-march," "March," and "Prepare to Fire" to the playful charm of "Bubble Gum Polka" and the Irish-flavored "Irish." Threaded through it all is the show's hopeful refrain, "We Can Make A Change," alongside character moments like "Prince's Song" and the worried, then resolved, arc of "Worry," "Bigger Worries Cue," and "Make Believe." The recordings were created and refined between August and November of 2009.
