Clint Black
Oct 26, 2017
Country icon Clint Black has been developing a new Christmas musical, "Looking For Christmas." The musical tells the story about a young American veteran who struggles with PTSD after returning from war, and how he and his wife and daughter rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. An industry reading casted by Jason Styres Casting is set for Monday, December 4th in New York. Director Kent Nicholson helms the process, with book by James D. Sasser, and music supervision by Charles Vincent Burwell.
"I had toyed with the idea of writing a musical, as I’m always looking for new challenges,” said Black. "When I met James Sasser, he asked if I’d ever considered 'Broadway.' I said, ‘Not as a performer, the work week is too long’!' We decided we’d explore ideas together as writers, and I introduced the idea of a Christmas story built around my original Christmas music from 'Looking For Christmas' and 'Christmas With You.'"
