PICTURE BOOK PRODUCTIONS, LLC Entertainment That Makes a Difference "New York Rhapsody" by Allan Jay Friedman   Be a Partner With PBP For an exciting Season of Four Pre-Broadway Musicals That Entertain, Inspire and Elevate. Picture Book Productions introduces a revolutionary new theatrical experience that blends Hollywood with Broadway. What Cirque du Soleil is to the Circus, Picture Book Productions New Art Form is to the Theater. PBP gives individuals, throughout the world, the opportunity to be Producers of a Season of Four Pre-Broadway Musicals that entertain, educate and inspire. Mac Donald's franchised hamburgers, PBP franchises a Season of Value-Based Musicals, CD's, Books and Products based on each show. Each production is a celebration of life through music, story, dance and a revolutionary three-dimensional art form with pre-recorded orchestral tracks and live musicians. Each musical popularizes and incorporates musicals, opera and ballet for everyone to appreciate and enjoy. In essence, Picture Book Productions has created an economical alternative to Hollywood and Broadway.  Instead of producing an expensive Broadway Musical and going on the road, which is where Musicals recoup their  investment, PBP begins with four Pre-Broadway Musicals, which together cost a fraction of what one Broadway Musical costs. The World Premier, like the four following Musicals, will be presented at one of the most distinguished venues in the country. Either the Governor of the State or the Mayor of the City or both will introduce the star-studded cast. The Premiere performance will be a Major Charity Event with the profits going to the appropriate charity. This will be followed by a run of the show before touring. In some cases, the Motion Picture will be produced simultaneously with the Theatrical Production. The Musical will then be cloned as the first of a Season of Four Musicals to Producers in other cities throughout the world at minimal costs and maximum profits while touring the original productions with a major star in each production. This  will build the name-value of each production. Each of the four new productions will follow the same format as the World Premiere with a major Charity Event for the Opening Night, with the profits again going to the appropriate charity. This is the way PBP builds the reputation and value of each musical prior to its Broadway debut, while earning substantial profits as well as the funds necessary to produce it on Broadway. Additionally, PBP pre-releases a Book/CD to promote each show ala "Evita," "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Les Mis," all of which made substantial profits prior to their theatrical debut. Later, each production will provide new and exciting pre-sold material for the thousands of venues throughout the world that could not formerly afford such productions as well as for the Stock-Amateur, Book, CD, Merchandising, Motion Pictures, Television and Video Markets. PBP's Multi-Media Creative Team can transform any Theatrical Production, Movie, Television Production or Book into a PBP Musical with 3-D Visual Effects and a Pre-Recorded Orchestra that can be placed on one DVD and one CD. These productions can then be cloned in thousands of venues (theatrical and new spaces) at one time for a minimal cost and minimal ticket prices, using the talent of each city or town and a star if desired. PBP will provide the star. This, we believe, will create ever-green and low cost productions and products that will grow in value each year with an unlimited shelf-life.                                           The Picture Book Production Group includes individuals who have won multiple Academy Awards, Tony Awards and Emmy Awards. (Note: PBP's Initial Musical of "Pinocchio and Mounette" was successfully produced and attracted a family audience of over 20,000 people over a three-week period. It sold thousands of books with CD's, all of which went to charity. The first eight Pre-Broadway Musicals have already been written by major Broadway writers. They have also been work-shopped and are ready for production with possible stars, casts and directors. They can all be read and heard upon request.) Copyright & Office Patent Pending (c) 2006
