Does anyone else remember Marcus Cheong who ran the Ignite Christian Film Festival from the old Anglican Media offices at Northbridge about 4 years ago ? Well, he’s been busy in America working on his dream. ( This was discussed on the old Sydney Anglican forums from memory. )

Well here’s a chance to check out the progress on SBS 1 starting this Thursday :

The “Angels: The Musical” series of 4 half hour episodes starts this Thursday ( 18 Feb ) on SBS 1 at 8.30pm :

Angels In New York

Two young Aussie rookie producers attempt the seemingly impossible: to take an unknown musical straight to Broadway !

Set in New York, New Orleans, LA and Sydney, this series follows the journey of two rookie Australian producers who dream of taking their unknown musical straight to Broadway. Meet Marcus Cheong, a graduate Architect, and Ken Lai, an aeronautical engineer, who have dedicated four years to writing the book, music and lyrics for “Angels: The Musical”, heavily influenced by Star Wars, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings and the flying excitement of Cirque de Soleil. (Commissioned by SBS in English) (*New Documentary Series*) (Part 1 of 4) G CC WS

Yes! I actually designed the web site: http://angelsthemusical.com/ (another designer did the fab logo and art :). Marcus left Anglican Media to head on the Angels adventure about the same time I left.

Should be interesting doco series!
