The Vision - Peter G. James Sinclair - The Cross & The SwitchbladeIn 1995 Peter G. James Sinclair grasped hold of a vision to transform the best selling story and film 'The Cross & The Switchblade' into a stage musical. Not coming from a musical background, nor being part of the musical theatre scene, this was to be a major feat for Peter to pursue.
He had been a Gospel recording artist in the 80's, but had always had a keen interest in the world of musicals. So Peter set about to study musicals in greater detail, and the more he studied the more he was convinced that he could create a timeless piece that would one day have its debut on the commercial and international stage. Peter composed the majority of this musical in his lounge room surrounded by his children.
His vision is to see 'The Cross & The Switchblade' launched as a fully staged musical in the city of the stories origin, New York. He has already visualised himself walking down the red carpet with his family on opening night.
