BEAM Showcase - panel comments
Max Alexander-Taylor and Charlie McCullagh as Vinnie & Paul
* "A two-hander rock gig musical with a five-piece rock band is an achievable producible model."
* "Van Gogh obviously has a strong commercial appeal and seems to endlessly fascinate artists who have told his life story in various forms."
* "We like that this isn’t done in a serious ‘history play’ style."
* "People are really interested in the stories of artists, like The Collaboration at the Young Vic (now on Broadway)."
* "It was very clearly delivered with two fantastic performers brilliantly demonstrating the material." [The singers for the pitch were Nick Carter and Jack Reitman].
* "A Fistful of Brushes has a spirited playfulness between the two - it was a great song to show us the tone of their friendship (‘the rise’ of the title)"
* "Me and My Mind is a well-written song... with a clear emotional journey through it"
* "Knowing your work as a writer... through various events we can really see your craft go from strength to strength as you continue to develop."
