 Magritte and Rosen are excited to announce they've joined the cast of Showpeople Theatre Collective's Songwriting Showdown, a reality competition that pits musical theatre composers and lyricists against each other in a series of songwriting challenges. Will Magritte & Rosen bop to the top or flop under the pressure?
The only way to find out is by tuning in when the series airs Sunday, May 11 at 8pm EST / 5pm PST here.  We are excited to announce that we will be returning to Seattle this February for the premiere reading of DIRTY, a new comedy by Jayne Hubbard featuring nine new original Magritte & Rosen compositions.
The year is 1892. As business magnates continue to rally the community to rebuild after a glue fire destroys most of downtown Seattle, everyone looks to the wealthiest person in town: local brothel owner Madame Lou Graham. A historical fiction with lots of music, DIRTY explores the complex lives of the most powerful figures in town: Seattle’s sex workers. Featuring direction by Suz Pontillo and music direction by Nick Bringhurst, we invite you to join us at the Annex Theatre this February 4th and 5th to get a little dirty.  Hey New York, we have a cabaret coming your way! On Thursday, December 5th at 9pm, join us at Urban Stages’ Winter Rhythm Festival for a seasonal showcase of original holiday diddies and never-before-heard tunes performed by the glittering talents of Lucy Hall, Andrew Harvey, and Moana Poyer with music direction by Allison Kraus.
All proceeds will go to arts outreach in each of the five boroughs, so come grab a steaming cup of cocoa and get your tickets today!

The two interpretations will be presented in tandem to show the iconic mark a choreographer can leave on a musical. |
