Be a Partner With PBP For a Season of Four Pre-Broadway Musicals That Entertain, Inspire and Elevate... Picture Book Productions introduces a revolutionary new theatrical experience that blends Hollywood with Broadway. What Cirque du Soleil is to the Circus, Picture Book Productions New Art Form is to the Theater. PBP gives individuals, throughout the world, the opportunity each year to be the Producers of a Season of Four First Class Pre-Broadway Musicals dedicated to entertaining, inspiring and elevating the minds and spirits of people everywhere. Mac Donalds franchised hamburgers, PBP is franchising a Season of Value-Based Musicals, CD's, Books and Products based on each show. Each production is a celebration of life through music, story, dance and a revolutionary three-dimensional art form with pre-recorded orchestral tracks and live musicians. Each musical popularizes and incorporates opera and ballet for everyone to appreciate and enjoy In essence, Picture Book Productions has created an economical alternative to Hollywood and Broadway.  And, instead of starting with an expensive Broadway Musical and then going on the road, which is where a Musicals recoups their money, PBP begins with four Pre-Broadway Musicals that cost a small fraction of what one Broadway Musical would cost. The World Premier, like the three following Musicals, will be presented at one of the most distinguished venues in the country like the Kennedy or Lincoln Center. Either the Governor of the State or the Mayor of the City will introduce the star-studded cast. The opening will be a Major Charity Event with the profits going to the appropriate charity. This will be followed by a run of the show before touring. In some cases, the Motion Picture will be produced simultaneously with the Theatrical Production. The Musical will then be cloned as the first of a Season of Four Musicals to Producers in other cities at minimum costs and maximum profit while taking the original productions on the road with a major star in each production. Each of these productions will again follow the same format as the World Premier with a major Charity Event for the Opening Night, with the profits again going to the appropriate charity. This is the way PBP builds the reputation and value of each value-based musical prior to its Broadway opening, while earning substantial profits as well as the funds necessary to produce its Broadway Debut. Additionally, PBP pre-releases a Book/CD to promote each show ala "Evita," "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Les Mis," all of which made substantial profits prior to their theatrical debut. Each production provides new and exciting pre-sold material for the thousands of venues throughout the world that could not formerly afford such productions as well as for the Stock-Amateur, Book, CD and Merchandising, Motion Pictures, Television and Video Markets.                                           The Picture Book Production Group includes individuals who have won Academy Awards, Tony Awards, Emmy Awards, Olympic Gold Medals and Nobel Prizes. (Note: PBP's Pop-Opera-Ballet Musical of "Pinocchio and Mounette" was successfully produced and attracted a family audience of over 20,000 people over a two-week period, selling thousands of books with CD's that all went to charity. The first four Pre-Broadway Musicals have been written, workshopped and are ready fo production with possible stars, casts and directors. They can be read and heard upon request.)
