And it only took 9 months!
Well, making a professional-sounding demo recording in a living room takes time. A lot of time. And coordination with some incredible talent. Check out some videos on our Instagram to see Jimmy recording with Charity Farrell, Jared & Zach Green (yes, we have actual twins playing our twin busboys), B. Todd Johnston, Jon Kovach, Christian Magby, and Manasa Vedula. We also had …view the rest
Can you believe it? It’s 2017! And we’re still recording the demo! What the heck is taking so long?
We’ve been working hard on getting the demo for the show sounding as awesome as possible. Since beginning in the middle of last year, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredible talent. Check out some videos on our Instagram to see Jimmy recording with Charity Farrell, Jared & Zach Green (yes, we have actual twins playing our twin busboys), Christian Magby, and Manasa Vedula.

Tune in Time came and went, and Jimmy won!
The format of the show teams up 3 composers with 3 lyricists and nobody knows who’s on what team until being introduced onto the stage. Jimmy was matched with Derek P. Hassler on Team C. Throughout the show, each participant gets to showcase a number from a project they are working on… 1) for the exposure and 2) to make sure that if whatever they write in 20 minutes is awful, they can at least prove they’re not terrible in real life! Guest celebrity judges (this show featured Lee Wilkof, Darryl Winslow and Leah Hocking) rated against the following criteria:
Jimmy performed a number from Lasagna Mañana called …view the rest
Well… Jimmy is recording the music. But Harrison’s listening to the music once it’s been recorded!
We’re in the process of putting together a recording of all the songs from the show. Jimmy has already finished recording all the piano parts (check out some videos on our Instagram), so now we’re in the process of getting singers on board to record the vocals. Once we’ve gotten all the tracks together, …view the rest
We’ve got a promo code and we’ve got an announcement.

This past weekend was an amazing experience. On Friday night, we saw a group of amazing actors perform a staged reading of the show in it’s entirety. We’re still in awe from the experience. Having said that, the weekend actually started off a bit rough.
Harrison was supposed to fly out of Chicago on Wednesday night and spend the night on Jimmy’s couch in New York before sharing a flight to Savannah the next morning. However, nearly every flight into LaGuardia was cancelled due to the weather. Luckily, Harrison secured a spot on the last flight for the night. Unluckily, after two hours of sitting on the tarmac, the flight was cancelled (at least he got his money’s worth in terms of time on an airplane). Needless to say, Harrison was a changed man.
Meanwhile, Jimmy played ground support by …view the rest
With the help of the fantastic Kevin Wallace, we will be getting to see Lasagna Mañana on its feet at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) in Savannah, GA one week from today! That’s right folks, we’re going to Georgia.
Kevin and Jimmy met at SCAD while Jimmy was attending as a student. Kevin has been the music director at the college for almost 10 years with decades of theater experience behind him. Since it’s inception in 2012 …view the rest
If there’s one thing that we’ve learned, it’s that you don’t exist unless you’re online. So here we are – online and in existence with a fully-functioning website complete with free restaurant-themed stock photos.
Since this is the first update that we’re posting, we thought it might make sense to take a minute to catch you up on what’s happened prior to our web-birth.
2012 – Jimmy asks Harrison if he’d like to write a musical as a way to keep in touch. Admittedly, Harrison initially rolls his eyes at the idea. However, the more they joke about the world of Lasagna Mañana …view the rest
