I’m Yours (or Deranged by Love)

I’m Yours Lobby Poster

After seeing Precarious Theater’s production of Chemical Imbalance, I jumped at the chance to work with writer/director Matthew Graham Smith who had asked me to write a couple of songs for his new play, Cardenio.

Cardenio, being a brisk play based on a single chapter in Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote, asked for more than one song and ended up becoming a musical. It was even renamed I’m Yours! (or Deranged by Love).

The cast consisted of five actors playing multiple roles and genders over the course of two hours. Christian Cagigal, (”Gaz Howard”, Fruit Fly) was showcased doing three roles, one requiring a singing voice.

I’ve included two of the songs from the musical here:

I AM COLD (MY APOLOGIES) – Performed by Erin Carter and Hannah Knapp

LUSCINDA (PT. 2) – Reference vocal by H.P. Mendoza
