'Beautiful and Damned' is an evocative and glittering musical based on the extraordinary lives of Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. He's a successful, young author and she's the stylish, young wife. Outrageously glamorous and fashionable, they created their own world of enchantment and became the envy of all with their high-spending and high-living lifestyle.

Scott christened the period The Jazz Age, and Zelda lived it. But behind the glittering facade lay a tragedy of epic proportions.

The original, inspirational songs on this unique disc, written and performed by two of the world's greatest songwriters, Les Reed and Roger Cook, secured multi-million pound funding for Beautiful and Damned, a full-blown, glittering Art Deco musical extravaganza.

Initially starring John Barrowman at the Yvonne Arnaud theatre, 'Beautiful and Damned' transferred to The Lyric, where it starred Michael Praed and Helen Anker. As bonus tracks - the album concludes with three exclusive recordings from the London cast featuring Michael Praed and Helen Anker, recorded live at the Lyric Theatre.
