Demo tape of the opening number of Robot Nature, a new musical by Tammy Mader and Ian C. Weber.

Story: The first thing we see is one robot: Mozi, the prototype.  The voice of the RBC, the big boss, welcomes the audience to the first day of Project Utopia, a cutting-edge research endeavor created to replace human discord with harmony.  Each of the top researchers in the nation have been tapped to build a robot with a unique skillset to participate in this experiment.  Along the way, the robots learn what it means to be alive, the scientists learn what it means to have a life, and the audience gets to see a lot of tap dancing.

“My Machine”: opening number, set at a technology expo.  Each scientist is introducing themselves and the robot they’ve designed for the experiment, based on the prototype, Mozi.  As each robot is introduced, they have a brief tap solo and join the rest of the robots upstage, before all coming together at the end of the number in a raucous and intricate ensemble dance number.
