Details:

Seeking a composer for "Honest Jack", the incredible true story of 18th century pickpocket Jack Shepherd, who goes from a small, skinny carpenters apprenctice to a pick-pocket and escape artist; escaping prisons four different times in increasingly creative ways. He is pursued by Thief-Taker General Jonathan Wild, a crime boss who leads a double life as a lawman; and falls in love with the bold, audacious fellow pickpocket Elizabeth Lyons.

I am proposing this musical for the simple reason that I feel it should already be a musical. Jack Shepherd's story is inherently farcical, tragic, and heartfelt; with an ensemble of larger-than-life characters who all deserve a moment in the spotlight.
