Thank you to all 43 donors! Because of you and your generosity, WAX has raised over $4,000 of our $13,000 goal in only two weeks! To help raise the remaining $9,000, I've launched an official crowdfunding campaign through Fractured Atlas. If you've been meaning to donate, but haven't yet, this is your chance! Here's the link: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/wax-the-story-of-marie-tussaud/campaigns/7280 Thank you again to everyone who has donated and shared. It means the absolute world to me! |
I’m Tyler Palo, the creator of WAX. With an MFA in Musical Theatre and years of professional experience developing new musicals for Broadway and the West End, I’ve poured my passion, time, and resources into crafting this show. So far, we’ve raised over $3,000 thanks to early supporters — now we’re aiming to raise the final $10,000 to produce a high-quality sizzle reel that will bring WAX to life and open doors to further development.
WAX is a new, original musical exploring the life of Marie Tussaud, the visionary woman who shaped celebrity culture with her wax figures. This project blends theatrical storytelling with powerful themes of survival, legacy, and reinvention, told through a contemporary pop-barque score and a dynamic female-driven narrative.
