France Golde, Steve Binder and I are excited to announce our new musical, will have a  summer workshop! The workshop will be held in Los Angeles and soon to be cast. Hopefully the cast we’ve used at the first reading will be available. More details to be announced soon.

I’m also excited about my new VOICE GYM workshop beginning Thursday April 27 and runs thru June 1st.  

I only head this workshop a couple of times a year and it’s a very rewarding experience. We work one one song a week technically,emotionally and presentationally for five weeks and on week six we videotape two of the best five for online casting submissions.  Please email me at Bobgarrett5@gmail.com for further details.  The workshop fills up very quickly so I hope other from you.   In the meantime, enjoy Spring!

I couldn’t be more excited to work on two new feature films!  The first is a musical remake of VALLEY GIRL, starring a soon-to-be major film star, JOSHUA WHITEHOUSE.  Josh will be playing the Nicolas Cage role and his musical and acting talents are unique, definitive and extraordinary.  I’m also thrilled to be working with the gifted ELLE FANNING on a new film called TEEN SPIRIT.  It’s a brilliant script by Max Minghella and Elle’s focus and talent promise to make this beautiful film a personal  triumph for her!

I will soon announce dates for a new VOICE GYM as well. SO glad 2016 is passed and  that 2017 is as exciting as we all had hoped!  Rock on everyone!

A TV  Mini-Series I worked on  for HBO,  coaching James Tupper, premieres this week. It is a great project and working with James was an absolute pleasure… such a talented and gracious man.

I’m thrilled that The Color Purple, the musical,  received the Grammy last gift for Best Original Cast Broadway Album! Having worked on the project with the composers for almost five years, it was a full circle, well deserved moment!  Bravo to  composers Allee Willis, Brenda Russell and Stephen Bray for their extraordinary work.. and to co-producer Frank Filipetti!  It was particularly special because I was there with Brenda to witness the moment of the win.

And speaking of Ari Hest.. great congrats to him on his Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album with Judy Collins… Exciting times!

It’s been such an exciting time here in Los Angeles this week.

I’ve gone back to work with Chan Tatum on a new film project and as always, he’s one of the great guys in this business… to work with, laugh with and share memorable times.  Next, I produced a song,  the Stones’ “Moonlight Mile” for Cybill Shepherd for her new film, “ROSE”. This was Cybill at her best and the performance will bring tears to your eyes.

Please make sure not to miss Robert Allan Ackerman’s  “BLOOD” at the Complex Theatre. It is a remarkable play having garnered unanimous rave reviews and I was honored to design the harmonies and coach the cast on their vocals.  It runs through the first of the year.

I loved spending time with Judy Davis these past few weeks. She’s here filming “FEUD” with my pal Jessica Lange, Working with Judy on “ME AND MY SHADOWS: LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND” was one of my favorite experiences ever.  She’s an extraordinary actress and person… one of the true greats.

Lastly, I’m thrilled to be going to NYC for the Thanksgiving holiday  and while there I will have meetings on our new musical, “SING”.  A workshop will soon follow here in Los Angeles, with composers including my partner Franne Golde, Brenda Russell, Stephen Bray, Ari Hest, Ferras, Richard Kerr et al.  Til next time, have a great holiday all.
