Lindsay Jones

Composer Lindsay Jones explores the final three songs of Botanic Garden The Musical and finds the common thread with everyone else on the creative team as the songs weave their way through loss and acceptance. “A Dead Man Plays Tennis” gives a meditation on how to face death, “The Doorbell Rings” returns to show us that life will never wait til you’re ready, and finally the heartfelt ballad “Open The Door” shows us the way to move on and start over. All that’s left is to hear the entire finished musical, which happens next episode!

Composer Lindsay Jones explores his dream of being a rock star and how it ultimately would help him in (and keep him from) finding the rock’n’roll fantasy song of “Spark” in Botanic Garden The Musical. But what does Spark even mean? The actors creative team debates the word and everything that it could be, before they finally rock it out and find it for themselves. Then, to top it off, Lindsay faces the ultimate challenge: how to incorporate Mozart’s Requiem into a new song where an experienced couple have to send a warning to a new couple of how not to make the mistakes that they’ve made. Will it work? Listen to find out!

Composer Lindsay Jones goes deep into the songs behind a long-term relationship, long after the love songs have run out. First, there’s the fine line between partnership and competition with “It’s Always My Turn”, then there’s the loopy oompah waltz of “The Doorbell Rings”, and finally the song about the secrets we keep from the people we love called “The Silent Treatment”. The mystery of adapting Todd Logan’s play Botanic Garden into a musical keeps us guessing til the end!

Todd Logan invites Lindsay Jones to help adapt Todd’s play Botanic Garden into a musical and almost immediately Lindsay realizes he has no idea how to write a musical. Lindsay writes the perfect opening song which everyone loves until they all realize that perhaps it’s not the perfect opening song. Inspired by Stephen Sondheim’s struggle to write “Comedy Tonight”, Lindsay creates “Why Am I Here” which is actually becomes the perfect song to open the show. Lindsay then vows to write an entire musical using only a piano, then immediately breaks this vow by adding in a metronome as musical instrument on “An Honest Lie”. This journey may have more twists than we thought.

Composer Lindsay Jones grapples with the fact that it’s been a very long time since the first production of Todd Logan’s play Botanic Garden, and realizes that perhaps he has a lot more in common with these characters than he thought. He commits to writing songs for Botanic Garden The Musical that will draw upon his own journey as well as the play. We hear the story behind Have You Heard, and how it was ultimately replaced by the love song A House Built On Love. Then love turns on its head as we slam into the confrontational song Do You Love Me So Much, and we discover that the love behind a relationship can easily be a two-sided coin or… a double edged sword.

You’ll learn the step-by-step process of how the songs were created and hear from the people who made it happen: playwright/collaborator Todd Logan, director Ann Filmer, all of the actors from multiple productions and more.
