Alan Menken's unproduced HONEYMOONERS Musical from the 1980s

[Frank Gannucci]

Thanks to a certain someone on this board, I acquired some songs from the Unproduced Honeymooners musical. These are demo recordings.

Songs are

Stand Out
Make It Big
To The Moon, Alice
There Always Will Be A Norton In The Sewer
Alice
That’s All You Need To Know
Baby, You’re The Greatest
The Honeymooners (the music doesn’t match the theme song.)

Too bad this musical never got off the ground. It will be interesting to see what the script was.

I just discovered that the songs are on YouTube

It’s worth noting that the page says this. “The demos for an unproduced musical adaptation of the Honeymooners with music and lyrics by Alan Menken and a book by David Spencer.” What book is he talking about?

In musical theater talk the book is the script.

What is "The Book"?
The book (or libretto) is the script, the narrative structure that keeps the score from being nothing more than a disjointed medley of songs. It is the drama at the heart of every musical.
