The inspiration for Nickel & Dime came to David during a New York trip to Broadway to see the musical Wicked. While standing in line at the theater, he suddenly envisioned a marquee with a child’s hand tenderly placing a nickel in a pink piggy bank. With this unexpected spark, David spent his flight home to California furiously creating the story and characters for Nickel & Dime. Bringing this wonderful musical to life so it might find its audience has become David’s passion.
