The Author

With the workshop of her first musical DRACULA, played in French at the Theater MOGADOR in Paris, with 8 musicians and 13 singers (including herself, David Eguren, Sarah Tullamore, Virginie Perrier, Christine Bonnard, Gilles Avisse, Isabelle Turschwell, Fabian Ballarin, Herve Lewandowski., Remi Cotta, Christophe Borie...), Cecile ROUZAY is twice nominated at the Festival the Musicals in France, with Claude-Michel SCHÖNBERG (Les Miserables, Miss Saigon…) as the President of the Jury: for the SACD Price for the Best Book, and for the Best Discovery.

This French writer and lyricist fond of American musical movies and Disney's films since her childhood, participates to Oscar Sisto's formation « The Entertainer in the Musical » in Paris, finishes to write the book of her second Musical and begins two others (still without musics yet) and waits for the Stage Entertainment's decision about producing her DRACULA.
During this time she participates to the creation of the Federation of the Musical in Paris where she is elected for two years as Delegate of The Authors.
This Federation had the purpose to develop and promote the musical theater in France, helping all the trades of the musical theater to meet each other (singers, dancers, writers, musicians, directors, stage hands, costume and set designers, producers...) in order to make it easy to create new projects.

Then Cecile leaves Paris, becomes a mother and writes and publishes her first fantastic novel AGATHA.

When Stage Entertainment, owner of the Mogador Theatre, after almost 5 years studying the project DRACULA, finally decides to not take the chance to produce their own creation and suggests to Cecile Rouzay to translate her show in English and try Broadway first...That's exactly what she decides to do, finally listening to this piece of advice she already received from professionals in Paris !

She first writes the English adaptation of a few songs of her DRACULA, registers them, finds an artistic agent in New York City, then flies to Big Apple to meet her new agent and musicals schools, to establish new professional contacts there, visit Broadway Theaters and for the first time she sees American musicals on stage and assists to the Tony Awards Ceremony.
A dream comes true ! (...well, several dreams!!)

By the end of 2019 the English adaptation is completely written and sent to Broadway's world...
But Broadway (and the entire world) is not ready anymore for anything during almost three years...
And her new artistic agent in NYC finds a different job.

So Cecile is now looking for a new artistic agent to contact producers for her English (or French) version of her musical DRACULA in North America or in London, Paris...

And as Mr Walt Disney said :
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them...
