Baby Jessica McClure - 2022 Release

THE (MUSICAL) MEMOIRS OF A MURDER - BABY JESSICA MCCLURE 2022 Release Conner, Charlotte and Alex have been running their true crime podcast Prime Time Crime Time since the pandemic started. They have not been very successful in securing a fan base thus far, unfortunately, so Conner offers a switch-up of sorts where they cover the rescue of Jessica McClure, the baby who fell in a well and subsequently caused the first endless news cycle in 1987. The tragic ending to the hero of this story causes our hosts to connect in ways they did not expect, and sets them up for a renewed approach in how they explore each case moving forward. --- the [musical] Memoirs of a Murder is a multi-episodic, musical look in to three friends who run a true crime podcast. As they explore these all-too-relevant cases, they are forced to reconcile with some past trauma and their popularity skyrockets. They learn first-hand what it means to be a hero, and unfortunately, the lesson that you cannot save everyone.   THE(MUSICAL) MEMOIRS OF A MURDER    CREW    WRITING TEAM -   Jim Conklin  Ashlee Waldbauer  Sam Hulsizer  Lauren Steele  Melissa Myers  Jamie Kreppein    EPISODE 1 WRITER -  Jim Conklin   DIRECTOR -   Isaiah Rosales     PRODUCERS -   Melissa Myers  Turner Messer     PRODUCTION COORDINATOR -   David Herndon    TECHNICAL PRODUCER -   Alex Luna    SOUND PRODUCER/EDITOR -   Jack Druffel    COMPOSER/LYRICIST -   Megan Sperger     CO-COMPOSER -   Jack Druffel    MUSIC DIRECTOR -   Aaron Kahn    RECORDING ENGINEER -   Minji Will    DRAMATURG -    Maya McGowan and Cadence Lamb   MARKETING HEAD -   Janelle Good     GRAPHIC DESIGN   Angie Cornwell     CAST    PODCASTERS -   Ashlee Waldbauer  Lauren Steele  Jim Conklin    ROBERT O’DONNELL -   Dylan Berkshire    STEVE FORBES -   Ben Neumayer    JESSICA MCCLURE -   Nancy Carrie Logan    MALE ENSEMBLE -   Ben Walton  Ryan Patrick Smith    WOMEN ENSEMBLE -   Lena Bledsoe  Elie Kupperman  Maura Dempsey    INTRO ENSEMBLE VOICES -   Carly Wheeler  Ryan Duda  Jace LeGarde  Logan Graye  Travis Ulrich  Quinn Moran  Carson Grey References  “Baby Jessica Rescued from a Well as the World Watches.” History.com, A&E Television Networks, 2 June 2011, www.history.com/this-day-in-history/baby-jessica-rescued-from-a-well-as-the-world-watches.
