Welcome back to 1958 for an oldie, but a goodie!   That’s right, it’s time for a remaster of our fourth musical: Lady Jane’s Radio Takeover. It’s the story of Jane, a young woman with dreams of stardom, who works as a coffee girl at New York’s top teen hits radio station. She may be overlooked time-and-time-again by those around her, but she has a bold (and probably illegal) strategy to share her talents with the world! Will she propel herself to fame, or will she fail spectacularly? Either way, it’ll involve a lot of doo-wop and rock ’n’ roll!

Welcome back to Anatomy of a Song! The show where we tear open the guts of a song and explain, in detail, why they look (sound?) like that. On today's episode we have the writing team behind our latest musical, "The Good Ship Antiphony" here to discuss the collaborative process of creating the music of that episode, and in particular the songs "Dark Before the Dawn" and "Adrift at Sea" which were both written by Morgan Hollingsworth.

If you like what we do here at One Million Musicals, please consider leaving us a rating and a review, and sharing this episode on your social media! We want to spread the word of our show as much as possible, and you can help us do just that!

Gals, guys and otherwise... Hardy, Sea-faring patrons of the arts… Welcome back to One Million Musicals! Tonight, we are proud to present The Good Ship Antiphony!

In the near future, wind-powered sailing vessels venture across the Earth’s polluted oceans in order to rid the sea of filth and debris. When one such vessel, The Good Ship Antiphony, finds itself in the middle of the ocean and without wind, the crew must come together and keep their spirits up the only way they know how: singing some good ol’ fashioned sea songs. Will the crew escape the doldrums? Will the ocean ever be cleaned? Will there be pirate accents?? You’ll just have to listen and find out, ye scurvy dog!

Stay tuned to the end of the show to get a very special sneak peak at one of our very real and not fake upcoming musicals. Intrigued? You should be!

And now, sit back, rest your sea legs, and enjoy musical number 6 out of One Million!

Welcome to a brand new series we are calling: Jacob & Alan Try to Write a Song in 20 Minutes! In these remarkably self-explanatory episodes, 1MM creators Jacob Ben-Shmuel and Alan Blake Bachelor try to - you guessed it - write a song in 20 minutes. They must base their song off of a prompt they have not heard, and by the end of 20 minutes they MUST share their creation with you, no matter how incomplete, incompetent, or incomprehensible it may be.
