PROGRESS REPORT
22 October 2016

Development continues on the musical score and expansion of H. H. HOLMES: A NEW MUSICAL. Here's a rundown of the most recent additions.

* About 2/3 of Act 1 is now lyrically complete or else nearing lyrical completion, with only 3 of those 12 musical numbers undeveloped at the present time.

* Collectively 15 of the total 22 musical numbers in the show now bear some stage of lyrical platform and/or musical scoring. Only 2 to 3 major numbers lack any form of melody or structure at present.

* Among the pieces nearest to completion are the show's opening and closing number ("A Terrible Thing") and a trio ballad performed by three of the only survivors in our cast of characters ("How Could I Have Known?").

More formal audio samples will become available as progress continues to develop.
