TTP Ep. 3 - Natalie Brice, Composer of White Rose: The Musical

Brylan sits down with composer, pianist, teacher, and Chinese food enthusiast Natalie Brice to talk about her critically acclaimed musical "White Rose: The Musical", currently playing from now till April 13th at the Marylebone Theatre in London, England. White Rose tells the story of a group of student activists in 1940s Germany who distribute literature challenging the Reich's propaganda.

In the episode, Natalie elaborates on the intensive process of writing the music for the show (including writing an entirely new song at the last minute), adjusting to the bizarre experience of watching others perform your work, and the heavy subject matter of the musical and how it relates to the current state of the world.


On a lighter note, the pair discuss Natalie's love for punk music and play a Test Press-ified version of "two truths and a lie" with wild music opinions!
