The cast also includes Julie Armstrong (Follies, National Theatre) as Eva, Patrick Clancy (Young Frankenstein, West End) as Mr. Coombe, Connor Ewing (The Phantom Of The Opera, UK tour) as Cyril Muir, and Rowan Macpherson (Babies, The Other Palace) as Anna Muir.
With music and lyrics by Carmel Dean and a book by Penelope Faith, the workshop will be directed by Kenneth Hoyt, with musical direction by Candida Caldicot, and creative consultancy by Raymond Sage.
Adapted from the acclaimed 1945 novel, the story was an immediate sensation and is widely considered to be one of the most classic love stories of all time. This new musical showcases the boundless nature of true love and its ability to transcend this life and beyond.
