Clyde Fitch Report: When thinking about new original musical theatre, our immediate thoughts turn to the US, particularly New York, and London as centres of development. Whilst growing numbers of new musicals are being workshopped, tried out and mounted in cities away from the harsh lights of Broadway and the West End, few theatre fans grasp the extent of work produced for, and targeted to, the ever-growing markets of central Europe and Asia. With international faith in the US at an all time low, perhaps it’s time for musical theatre fans to widen their focus and look beyond traditional routes for the next hit. In Vienna, for example, something quite remarkable is continuing to grow.
