The New Picasso staged its premiere reading at New World Stages in October of 2006. The creative team was comprised of Director Sam Scalamoni (Beauty and the Beast), Music Director Jan Rosenberg (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and Composer, Lyricist and Librettist Jonathan David Sloate, who also created the new musical The Tower Of Babel. As composer, Jonathan David Sloate wrote the scores for Warner Bros.' Mortal Kombat Conquest and USA Networks' Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm. Casting was by Mungioli Theatricals and Arnold J. Mungioli, C.S.A (Ragtime). Dave Ferdinand's One Dream Sound provided sound design. Pianist Jan Rosenberg conducted Keyboardist Kristin Dabaghian, Bassist Ray Kilday (The Drowsy Chaperone), and Percussionist Paul Davis (Fiddler On The Roof). Production Stage Manager Beverly Jenkins (The Lion King) lead Stage Managers Karyn Meek (Fiddler On The Roof) and Jovon E. Shuck (Noises Off).
The staged reading featured the original concept album cast except Michael Gillis (Tour: The Phantom of the Opera) performed the role of Jon Bernard, Felicia Finley (Aida) portrayed Alexandra Laurent, and Sara Chase (First Wives Club) played Trixie. Alton Fitzgerald White (The Color Purple) recorded songs as both Jules de Medici and Nate Bernard in earlier recording sessions along with Sirius XM/Cosmopolitan Radio's Diana Falzone.
The New Picasso and The Tower Of Babel have been penned for both stage and cinema and have garnered 46 Awards in the past 5 years at independent festivals and writing competitions. Both musicals are currently ranked as the 1st and 2nd most award-winning Fantasy and Romance scripts over the past decade.
