How can you become a producer, for musicals? (like moviee musicals not broadway)?

Answer 1

Perhaps film school would be a route to get you closer than asking here on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 2

you have to bring something big to the table and negociate the credit title.

Generally that means distribution, financing, the story (you own rights), music (you own rights) or you make the heavyweight actor or director possible, it means you have the camera and lighting equipment, you have the editing room, you have the sound recording room, you have the union affiliatons to sign the union people, you have the studio lot office, you have a production center they can use free of charge, you have first right of refusal agreement with Sony/Columbia, Warner, Fox, Paramount or can get an advance from HBO or Showtime or a Pay Per View presenter.

Then you negociate

Presenter
Executive Producer
Co-Executive Producer
Producer
Co-Producer

Robert Stigwood was originally a store manager for Brian Epstein at his NEMS record store when Epstein got into the management business with the Beatles and Bee Gees and Robert Stigwood got put in charge of everyone BUT the Beatles

So when Epstein died Stigwood keep the Bee Gees and a few others and had a deal with Polygram records to produce the Bee Gees, Eric Clapton, Creem and all the others Stigwood signed.

Stigwood signed these two young pop song writers, because they could write pop songs that go on the raidio and because they had one project in the can called Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dream Coat and one project under development called Jesus Christ Superstar

Stigwood put them under 10 year contract, bought all rights to everything they wrote, had written and will write for 10 years and he produced Jesus Christ Superstar as a record which went quad platiunum.

As a result of OWNING Andrew Lllyod Weber and Tim Rice Stigwood got to be one of the Producers of the Broadway production of Jesus Christ and the movie production,he also owned their next work Evita and produced that too.

Then he did Joseph for broadway

Then he retired

Stigwood brought Tim Rice, Andy Weber, Joseph, jesus and Evita to the table and negociated himself a Producers credit.

Not bad for someone who onced managed, essentially, a Sam Goodies store in London

Rice and Weber split up, probably to get out of the rest of the 10 year contract.

I wouldn't be suprised to find out stigwood owns a piece of CATS as part of the divorce settlement

Engineers typicall work with small artists and bands and make friends with them and often do spec time and produce records and part of their deal is own part of the song and even getting songwriting credit.

That goes to film or broadway and they can neogicate themselves an Associate Producer or Co-Producer credit.

Answer 3

this is cool Punch. i'm going to take a glance. i easily merely observed my first Broadway play final weekend and it replaced into somewhat dazzling. i easily ought to confirm a very stable movie popping out of it too. It replaced into noted as next to common. I in basic terms heard the tunes as quickly as in passing and did no longer completely connect with any particular songs, the orchestration replaced into very cool however. some somewhat great vocal harmonies and a enormously cool take on the soundtrack ordinarily (it replaced right into a musical). Anyhoo, i do no longer unavoidably have any favorites. I continually have been prepared on the track 1921 from Tommy, which falls authentic into that showtune mould.

Answer 4

Have lots and lots of money and invest in a show that you believe will be a hit. Kind of ends that dream, eh? Rhetorical.

Answer 5

Be willing to find someone to turn 50 million dollars into stardust...and good luck with those pixie dusts while your at it.
