As a musical theatre writer, I was very disappointed to see that the Writers' Guild does not have an award for Musical Theatre. Not all musicals have shallow plotlines with music taken from tired pop songs. When will there be a place for us?
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of pressure to include more categories, but in the end it was decided that, for this year at least, the number should be kept down.
ReplyDeleteIf you're a Guild member why not drop the office a line and say why you think music theatre should be included next year.
The Guild certainly does aim to represent music theatre writers, and has published guidance for them that can be downloaded from the Guild's website: http://www.writersguild.org.uk/public/005_WritersGuil/index.html
