True Blue is a super intense drama. It was a tough challenge. And to tell the story of the political prisoner, I chose to merge the art of musical theatre with the film score (which is my background) in my composition and orchestration. This production not only granted me to explore what can musical theatre do but I also got to write music with the legendary composers of Thailand!
