A new song for a second musical I've been working on called "Barely Burlesque." Lyrics by Lara Sackey

City Eyes

A new song I wrote for the second musical I'm a part of called "Barely Burlesque" when two performers (a drag queen and a woman known as “blue blood beauty gone blue”) who are about to go on stage are wearing the same outfit. Lyrics by Lara Sackey.

You Musta Stole It From Me

The newest demo from the upcoming musical, Barely Burlesque. This is a song to introduce a French character who performs in the club. It shows her French roots and her journey to where she is now. Lyrics written by Lara Sackey, music written by Hayley Ashby.

Doors of Paris

The main theme of the upcoming musical, Barely Burlesque. This song sets the stage for the main character, Gusto Zimmerman, who used to be the “Smack Daddy-O King of Swing” in the good old days. He's now in a retirement home named the Hebrew Home of the Aged, reminiscing about his lost love. Lyrics by Lara Sackey, original melody by Lara and Lynda Roth, orchestration by Hayley Ashby.

What Freedom Have I

Newly recorded track from the musical Barely Burlesque about two star crossed lovers seeing each other for the last time before going separate ways after the Burlesque club is shut down. Lyrics by Lara Sackey, music written by Hayley Ashby.

Touch Me One Last Time

The Last Grind from the musical Barely Burlesque is a sad song sung by the main character and "Da Daddio of Swing", Gusto Zimmerman, and his best show girl and keeper of his heart, Misty Humidity. The club has just been closed and this is their "last grind" before this chapter of their lives is over. Lyrics are by Lara Sackey and the music is written by Hayley Ashby.

The Last Grind

This track from Barely Burlesque is when Zeke meets Fifi by a fountain and convinces her she can be anyone she wants to be. He gives her the chance to be a dancer at the burlesque club, and they start to fall for each other. Lyrics are by Lara Sackey and the music is written by Hayley Ashby.

Zekes Interlude

Quirky fun original video game music in the style of Rayman Legends.

Rayman Adventures

Lyndsey is embarrassed by getting bullied about starting puberty. Her brother's girlfriend makes her feel better by telling her other messy tales and gives her confidence that even though things can be a mess, it'll be okay.
These are some samples from our new musical called "It's a Mess, Period." The book was written by Monique Herbert, I did the music, and we shared the responsibility of writing the lyrics. It's a coming of age/feel good comedy about the crazy stage of puberty. First staged reading is in March!!!
