On the other hand, I really want ot try something completely new to me. And that's writing a musical.
I've only written the first scene, so right now, I need feedback on the overall plot. Here's the synopsis:
Alex, Mike, and Kali, three 16 year old kids, are in a band. They are well-known among their school, and life seems pretty good. However, tension soon begins to build.
First, Mike has a crush on Kali. However, Kali already has a boyfriend, and his chances with her seem unimaginable.
Later, a record company offers them a deal, and the three of them aren't sure if they should take it or not. Their parents, with the exception of Alex's, agree that they can make their own descision. Alex's parents, however, disapprove of taking it.
As they try to go on with normal life, more things prevent things from being normal. When Kali writes a song about breaking up with a cheating boyfriend, she gets into a fight with her boyfriend. Just as she manages to work things out, she discovers that he is really cheating on her, ends the relationship, and begins to lose confidence in herself.
Mike and Alex later agree that they want to take the deal, but Kali is still nervous, unsure if this is how she wants to live her life. Mike sees his chance to get on Kali's good side, so he begins to give her words of encouragement. Kali recieves these positively. Eventually, she agrees to takr the deal.
However, once again, Alex's parents step in and forbid them from taking the contract. They continue to try to convince them, but they don't budge.
Later, a "Battle of the Bands" concert arrives, and the three of them hastily sign up. Their parents all attend the competition. The band performs an enjoyable, fun song, and Alex experiences a revalation. He realises that he would feel terrible doing anything but this with his life. He tells this to the others when they come over to stay the night at his house. Alex's dad overhears their conversation, and has a change of heart. The next morning, they awake to Alex's parents arguing about the deal. Alex confirms what his dad overheard to his mom, and she tells them that she will decide later.
I decided to leave out the ending to avoid destroying tension. What do you think?
