Hitman is a musical comedy about the music business that I wrote in the early 90's. It tells two stories really. One is the story of two music biz moguls who make a bet. One says he can make a band famous that doesn't exist. The other challenges him and the bet is on. The other story involves the desperate songwriter that the music mogul hires to ghostwrite for his fictitious act, and his dedicated wife. The songwriter decides to take the deal, selling out to commercialism, which is everything she despises. Eventually, of course, everything works out for the best as the characters explore their own motivations. Something like that anyway. I think we used to call this the musical that asks the question: what's more important – money and power or love and art? Guess what the answer is?
