The Story

The Rothschild's is Europes most famous rags to riches story. Mayer Rothschild and his five sons struggle to overcome the prejudice of the late 18th century European society as they build a family banking business which takes them to the courts of the rich and powerful. Along the way they dominate European finances and help fund Napolean's defeat. They built a banking and family dynasty.

The Rothschilds

Yahoo!!! The Riverwalk Board of Directors has accepted my proposal to direct the musical the Rothschilds. This is a show I have wanted to do for almost 20 years and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity.


This blog will be dedicated to information about the show, auditions, rehearsals, and the production.




My goal is to offer information early on to assist actors in preparation for the musical.


Auditions are almost a year away so the posts on this blog will not be updated as frequently as my other blogs but I will start providing information to those interested in auditioning.
