1. Stories and articles!
It has come to my attention that I now have a lot of different article Ideas, so
I am putting it across to my audience to find out which are the most popular.
Please could you put a number in the boxes provided which you think is the
best to the least. (From 14 to 1, number 14 being most popular to 1 being the
least).
The top 20 songs from the west end.
This would be a lot like the charts that we have but just solely on musical
theatre music. I would include a website on this page so there is a
place to download them.
Interviews with the actors, actresses, producers, composers and directors.
This article would include questions on an upcoming actor/actress, or
ones that have just featured in a big musical and are sharing their
thoughts and feelings on the play and its music.
Behind the scenes gossip.
In this article I would feature some hearsay gossip about the
actors/actresses and the plays and find out the scoop on if its true or not
for the readers.
Upcoming stars-Stars of tomorrow.
This article would feature, a list and photo of who they are, what they do
and what they are going to play.
Lyrics.
On the pages to do with lyrics I would publish a “lyrics of the week”
page with a set of lyrics from a different musical every week then write
about the background information on the lyrics to some other musical.
Tributes to past stars, writers, and composers of west end productions.
These pages would feature biographies on the stars of yesterday and
how they survived through their time on the stage or behind the scenes.
Timetables of productions.
This would show a calendar of upcoming productions and tours and
music concerts of the productions.
Competitions.
For these pages I would offer chances to win tickets to shows and
musical tours, CD’s, Concert DVD’s, money off vouchers, signed
merchandise, etc.
Fmail answered.
In this article I would dedicate a few pages to fan mail sent in and
answered by their favourite stars, directors or composers. It can
beanything from question and answer to just a specific letter saying that
they enjoyed something with a response from the star.
2. Scores.
I would like to publish music scores in this magazines, 2 every issue, this
will hopefully attract an audience as they are getting free stuff.
However, I wouldn’t publish the whole score just some of it.
Chance to record you singing with a west end star.
This is something that would be advertised as a prize draw competition.
All you would have to do is buy the magazine and find your secret
code within the magazine and either go on the magazines website and
send in your code or text it in. this would hopefully help sell my
magazine and promote a good fair competition that my audience
would be interested in.
Subscription
I would dedicate a page to a subscription page, on this page I would
offer a reasonable price to subscribe to my magazine and in return they
get: free full musical scores, free music downloads, free lyrics and free
CD’s/DVD’s.
Funny photos
This would be a double page spread of behind the scenes photos of the
actors and actresses took sneakily with silly taglines, this would be just a
bit of fun for the readers.
How to train your voice.
This would be an article on how to do proper vocal warm ups and how
to train your voice to be like the stars.
Thankyou!
