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 Musical/Concerts That Entertain, Inspire and Elevate. Picture Book Productions (PBP) was created to use entertainment to inspire, elevate and educate. Its main theme is to follow your heart and trust your goosebumps (that Whisper from God within your heart.) PBP i ntroduces 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. It also combines the fairytale characters and stories and the legends of the ages into new settings and new worlds as well as classic books and stories. PBP brings value-based books and movies that entertain, inspire and elevate to life with actor/singers, 3-D visuals and/or film clips, an orchestral track and/or live musicians in an innovative and economical musical/concert that is character and story driven and evokes the audience's imagination. The premise of PBP is that the quality of the book, music and lyrics attract the star and the star attracts the audience. PBP is presenting the highest quality entertainment that is attracting major stars from Hollywood and New York. A book, CD, motion picture and full product line precedes or accompanies each theatrical production to further promote it. Additionally, PBP gives individuals, throughout the world, the opportunity to be Producers of a Season of its Three Pre-Broadway Musical/Concerts promoted through a book/CD, motion picture and a major product line. Mac Donald's franchised hamburgers, PBP is franchising a Season of Value-Based Musicals, CD's, Books and Products based on each show. In essence, Picture Book Productions has created an economical alternative to Hollywood and Broadway.  Instead of producing an expensive Broadway Musical and then going on the road, where Musicals recoup their  investment, PBP begins with three Pre-Broadway Musical/Concerts which together cost a small fraction of what 'one single' Broadway Musical costs. The World Premiere of each of the three Musical/Concerts will be presented at a distinguished venue with a star-studded cast. The Premiere will be a Major Charity Event and followed by a short run before touring other venues. As it tours, we build each production more and more en route to either Broadway, cloned as the first of a Season of three Musical/Concerts to Producers in other cities or produced as a motion picture. Each of the three productions will follow the same format as the World Premiere. This is the way PBP builds the value of each musical/concert prior to its Broadway debut, while earning substantial profits and the funds necessary to continue to build each production en route to  Broadway and/or other venues. Additionally, PBP will pre-release the 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. PBP productions create new stars and artists while providing new and exciting pre-sold and pre-tested material for the thousands of new and old venues world-wide that could not formerly afford such productions. It also provides new material for the Stock-Amateur, Book, CD, Merchandising, Motion Pictures, Television and Video Markets. PBP's Creative Team can transform any Theatrical Production, Movie, Television Production and Book into a PBP Musical/Concert with Visual Effects and/or film clips and a Pre-Recorded Orchestra that are placed on one DVD and one CD. These will then be cloned in the thousands of tapped and untapped venues (theatrical and new spaces) at one time for minimal costs and ticket prices. Each production will use the talent of each city or town and PBP will provide a star, if desired. This creates new, ever-green-low cost-high quality-material that grows in value every year.                                   The Picture Book Production Group includes individuals who have won Academy Awards, Tony Awards and Emmy Awards. (Note: PBP's first Musical of "Pinocchio and Mounette" was attracted over 20,000 people in three-weeks and sold thousands of books with CD's. The first eight Musicals have been work-shopped and are ready for production with stars, cast and directors. They can be read and heard upon request.) Copyright & Office Patent Pending (c) 2006
