Stardust musical
Maria (music) and collaborator Allison Light (book and lyrics) presented four songs and scenes from a musical theatre adaptation of Stardust (2007) as their second-year project at the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Writing Workshop. This romantic fantasy adventure comedy follows a young man and a fallen star (who becomes a woman when she falls to Earth), and the hilarity and danger they experience.
