One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
The Musical

“Chris, You are to be congratulated on a fantastic cast and wonderful lyrics and melodies. I very much hope that your ‘musicalisation’ will see life on the professional stage, either here in UK or in the US… There is very much a strong American musical flavour to your work! My admiration extends to your very insightful lyrics, melodious notes and musical arrangements. Martha Wasserman, and I think Dale Wasserman too, would be very proud. Zena Choi-Former Head of Rights
