Description
Summary:
A team of scientists and musical theater writers team up in a world first experiment—to try to work out a recipe for success in musical theater, and then to task computers to use that knowledge and generate a hit! The musical’s Idea, Story, Setting, Lyrics and Music—all must be substantially crafted by computer, leaving musical theater duo Benjamin Till and Nathan Taylor to collaborate with their computational masters and curate the computers’ output. The ultimate goal—to stage the world’s first computer-generated musical professionally in London’s West End. Computer and human creativity are put to the test like never before. This is a story—like the best musicals—with high drama, low comedy, tears and conflict, and an utterly original premise.
