Happy New Year, Nouners!
Let’s start 2026 at a perfect pace. We’ve officially begun draft number six of Isabel, and over the past eight months we’ve been rewriting every part of the musical that didn’t fully serve the story or its lore. We’re happy to say that we’ve finally cracked every lingering question surrounding the history and storyline of Isabel. So much has changed—but all for the better—and we’re incredibly excited for you to read the new and improved version of this mixed-media musical. We’ve made it a bit more detailed so you can get a full picture of what you’ll eventually see on stage.
Alongside the intense work of shaping the story, we’ve also added one new song to the mix, titled “Never Let You Go.” It’s an intimate moment between Isaac and Isabel, centered on how they relate to one another despite their differences—and how, through it all, their feelings for each other continue to grow.
On the social media front, as we prepare to launch Isabel’s official accounts in four months, we’ve already begun laying the groundwork. Because this show has some mixed-media elements to the production, Max Pretends started an Instagram account exploring the animated films that inspired this project. The account, @maxpretendss, launched two months ago, reached over 2.3 million people in the past month, and is on track to hit 10k followers by January. We’ll be using this momentum to share more about the musical and its creative process.
It’s all incredibly exciting, and it truly feels like everything is falling into place. Thank you for your trust and patience—this project is still a long way from finished, but every day we grow more confident that Isabel will be a show to remember.
