Executive Summary
Broadway
Bound Productions & Film works is a Cincinnati based multi faceted national & international touring musical
stage play production company. Originally formed as an entity specializing in developing high quality, superbly produced,
extremely marketable productions for the cruise ship, theme park & Vegas-style casino supper theatre club markets. As
the potential of major productions became evident the initiative shifted to also include specializing in highly marketable
professionally produced productions to tour world wide… eventually destined to initiate a run on Broadway NYC.
Vincent Kee is the creator and Artistic Director
of Broadway Bound Productions. Mr. Kee {an accomplished collegiate level educator} has over 15 years practical experience functioning part-time as a union theatrical set designer & production assistant
with various productions off & on Broadway N.Y.C.N.Y. with Hudson County Repertory Theatre Group.

Kee has worked on include Miss Saigon, Man of La Moncha, Little Shop of Horrors, Death Of a Salesman, Dream Girls, The Wiz,
For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Committing
Suicide when The Rainbow Wasn’t Enough, Pippin, Cats & Hello Dolly.
Over
two years ago {in January 2002} after seeing the 1943 movie, Stormy Weather, Mr. Kee decided to embark upon a career in writing
& directing a original
musical stage play that would bring back some of the greatest jazz & swing legends of all time. These legendary figures
included Satchmo Louie Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, The Nicholas Bros & more. That musical stage play
was titled “This Joint is Jumpin”. An Evening of Jazz & Swing Legends.
With the success of transforming successful performances
of his 1st play to life {in select performances in Charlotte North
Carolina in March 2003 & June in Cincinnati}
Mr. Kee developed Broadway Bound Productions & Film Works to be a vehicle to maintain 100% creative control writing, directing
& producing every product he creates.
In less than three months he pro-actively developed
in Cincinnati a phenomenal ensemble of administrators, musical directors, production assistants, talent & choreographers.
During this time approximately summer 2003 Nicholas
Brown {a recent graduate of Cincinnati’s school of performing arts majoring in music} & Vincent Kee combined resources
to develop all of the 30 original songs for the entirely original musical 100 Years Of Divas In American Music….At
Sonny’s Place. This arduous task took a year to complete.
In February 2004 a partnership was developed
between The Greenwich Jazz Club (In Cincinnati) & Broadway Bound Productions to develop a series
of highly stylized Vegas-Style Supper Club Productions. These efforts created a incredible group of look & perform a likes
of some of the greatest musical legends of all time.!!!!!!!!!
During the periods of March 2004-April 2004 a
series of successful Legendary Diva Showcases were headlined at “The Greenwich” to rave reviews.
