Perfect Pitch, which is devoted to developing new musicals, will present two one-hour concerts comprising sneak previews of songs from showcased and other new musicals in development on August 18 and 19 at the Musical Theatre @ George Square in Edinburgh as part of the Edinburgh Fringe.

The concerts will be directed by John Brant, with musical direction by Paul Herbert. They will be hosted by Jamie Hinde, and will feature Kerry Ellis, Kelly Price, Nicole Faraday, Tim Driesen, John Addison, and Gareth Chart.

In related news, Perfect Pitch’s annual London showcase will take place November 3-8. Four musicals have been selected for inclusion in this year’s showcase in the 100-seat Trafalgar Studio 2: The Go-Between by Richard Taylor and author David Wood; In Touch by Dougal Irvine; and Super Alice Smith and From Up Here by Adam Day Howard, Aaron Lee Lambert, Benjamin Murray, and Adrianne Salmon.

The week will culminate on November 8, in the 400-seat Trafalgar Studio 1 next door with a one-night only concert performance of Through the Door, featuring Julie Atherton as Charlotte, a modern woman in a going-nowhere marriage who discovers a gateway to 17th-century France in her kitchen.
