Interview with Michael Gordon Shapiro, producer, composer, writer and lyricist about his newest musical: GIDEON AND THE BLUNDERSNORP is a witty musical set in a medieval fantasy world. The plot concerns a stablehand and highborn noble girl teaming up to save a royal cavalier from a rampaging monster. The theme of the show is: are our futures determined by social class, or can we create our own destinies through choice and action? http://tickets.gideonmusical.com Suitable for grownups, kids (6 and up), and well-behaved monsters. A new musical from the creators of THE BULLY PROBLEM. (Encore Award Winner. Nominated for seven HFF19 awards including Best Musical, Top of the Fringe, and Fringe First.) Directed by Matthew Toronto Produced by Elise Dewsberry Music, book, and lyrics by Michael Gordon Shapiro Presented in association with New Musicals Inc. “PICK OF THE FRINGE” SELECTION! - (Combined Artform & Fringe Management) “The most flawless fun I’ve found at the 2021 HFF.” - Ernest Kearny, TheTVolution.com “The hour flies by so quickly and enjoyably that you will want to stay and see more.” - Rob Stevens, HainesHisWay.com “Catchy tunes and clean-cut dialogue create a musical appropriate for all fantasy lovers regardless of age.” - Shari Barrett, Better Lemons.com
