With eighteen original songs - ranging through traditional spiritual, folk, bebop, swing, music hall, free jazz, concrete and early electronic/experimental audio - Jackson Pollock the Musical is a libretto for a musical based on the life and times of this Abstract Expressionist painter.

Review:
Jackson Pollock the Musical demonstrates an extraordinary concept born of great ambition. It defies categorization, crossing and blending genres, and pushing the boundaries of possibility of the discipline of visual arts ... truly encapsulating the spirit of the Best of Manchester. --Peter Saville, Manchester, 4th July 2007
In this offbeat libretto McKinley is concerned with depicting the visionary on the cusp of change... The cerebral mythicism of the artist s inner life is grounded by touching domestic detail. --Katie Popperwell, FLUX Magazine
