“You reached for the stars, for the moon and Mars, but you forgot to keep your feet on the ground.” The Only Man in Town, a true story of success, failure, and redemption brought to new life in an old-fashioned musical.  2400 people attended its first three performances, showing that an original, but traditional, musical can out-compete Netflix for a community’s attention.

Set in 1893, in a rural community in the Midwest, my musical brings back to life Frank Glazier, a big man in a small town who succeeds in saving Chelsea from decay, but at a terrible cost to himself and his family.

Starting as a pharmacist, he brings electricity, running water, automobiles, and the largest stove company in the world to his town.
