Electric Dreams: The Musical

“Electric Dreams” is one of those lost and forgotten gems that so many have either missed or misunderstood over the years. As one fan on Twitter noted, “Why has this film not had a cult revival yet? It's one of those movies you just have to be glad exists.”

Back in February 2010, when I revisited the old VHS videotape I have of "Electric Dreams", it dawned on me then that this would make an excellent theatrical production. I took down some mental notes at the time. Then I searched online to see if this concept had been 'seeded' anywhere before. I found a Facebook tribute page (This one, before I became its administrator) where fans discussed their opinions of a remake. But there was no mention of a Broadway-style musical production. I believe this would breath new life into this unique love story. But I set it aside for another project.

Meanwhile, award-winning composer, Drew Lane had a similar idea and stuck with it. He crafted a musical with a rousing original 80’s pop/rock score, while also expanding on the original story to create a whole new experience!

Drew reached out to the original creator, writer, and producer, Rusty Lemorande, and was granted permission to create “Electric Dreams - The Musical”. Through the wonders of the internet, Drew and Rusty have been in constant contact, with Drew sending demos of new songs to Rusty for approval and advice.

They're either featured in a scene or cleverly stitched together within a scene, helping with the storyline or for comedic effect. In order of appearance, you will find some examples below. There's a slight reference to the movie Alien (1979) in the scene when Miles was locked inside his apartment. The previous night, he installed a home security system on his apartment door that was monitored and controlled via his computer. By morning, he had forgotten all about it. And, being late for work, he had to recall the password. The scene in Alien that was referenced was after the character Dallas was killed. Ripley was then able to break through a “Science Officer Eyes Only” computer lockout, and communicate directly with Mothe

Lenny Von Dohlen, Rest In Peace

One of the most beautiful souls on earth. Eyes of sparkling blue I shall never forget and the sound of your voice would tame the Lion. The last time we met he said “we were just babies!” And we were. Your calming nature made me feel like I was walking on a cloud and when I was unsure, he would place
