UNBEATABLE: A Bold New Musical started it's journey as a reading at Phoenix Theatre's New Works Festival in August, 2006. After some major changes, including welcoming the composers Todd Schroeder and Kevin Fisher, it was seen at Playhouse Square's Launch Series for an artist residency in June, 2007. From there it moved to New York's Barrow Group Theater during August, 2007 for a showcase that starred Jenn Colella (Broadway's High Fidelity, Urban Cowboy). After seeing the NYC showcase, Bristol Myers Squibb brought a one-act version of the show to Los Angeles (November, 2007) and Philadelphia (May, 2008) for an audience of 1,000+ medical professionals from all over the country.
UNBEATABLE: A Bold New Musical had it's World Premiere as a co-production on subscription at Phoenix Theatre (August, 2008; Producing Artistic Director Michael Barnard) and Houston's Stages Repertory Theatre/Pink Ribbons Project (Sept - Oct, 2008; Producing Artistic Director Kenn McLaughlin). The show starred Wicked's Kristy Cates and received 45 continuous standing ovations. On October 6th the Houston cast recorded the album, which will be released November 20th.
Besides being an incredible piece of new theatre, UNBEATABLE continues it's commitment to spreading hope and knowledge about cancer through outreach. This year alone the various cast embers participated and performed at events for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Pink Ribbons Project, Tour de Pink, Team Continuum, The Rose, The M.D. Anderson's survivor luncheon, and Hiram College.
Pink Ribbons Project also sponsored various outreach components, including a theatre workshop and an essay contest.
