Hi David.

I think it's brilliant. Very original music and different to what else is doing the JBox rounds. Not a full length album but its got some fab songs and singers on it. I bought it on itunes last month but will get the CD now it's out. Singers are Daniel Boys, Sharon D, Oliver Tompsett, Ricardo Afonso (wwry) and Zubin Varla (From JCS amazing cast).

Not sure on the production plans but it was in Edinburgh a few years back. Never got to see it then.

Best track: Dreamer. Don't have a worst.

Hope this helps, Simon

Not at the moment. Broadway World did quite a lot about this recording -

Definitely recommended. Some strong tunes, and high production values. Zubin Varla's number's a stand out (nice to hear his voice in something different from JCS) -- and the others are as reliable as usual (though Ricardo was a new one to me -- great voice).

Really enjoy this CD. There was talk of a tour later this year but think that has now been removed from their website.

Bring it on!

A NEW musical with great songs - and it’s only a taster!

Bought this at the weekend and it's absolutely brilliant. Ricardo rocks, Sharon D. Clarke is a legend, Daniel Boys is Mr heart-string-puller. Why have I not heard about this before now???

Dreamer is mental.

I wanna see this show.

PUT IT ON!

The quality of the songs and those they chose to sing them is out of this world. I adore the album, it has a lot of potential to go further

I agree it's just such a joy to listen to, especially "Dreamer". What talent!

What a joy to have a new musical release on CD that reminds us that there are people out there making new shows.

Well done to you for making this - and making it so good. Tune, tune, tune...

More please.
