LOST WEST END (STAGE 9041)
"ESSENTIAL NEW RELEASE"

LOST WEST END celebrates London's forgotten musicals and brings together over 20 unique 'lost' West End productions on one album. The collection reflects 30 years of musicals that have come and gone from the West End, showcasing these unique theatrical works.

Ranging from 1976 to 2009, all the musicals featured had relatively short London residencies and although they weren't always met with critical praise, they nevertheless contain interesting, memorable scores and performances that deserve to be heard.

The diverse selection of shows featured range from epic through-sung adaptations of the classic novels 'Gone With The Wind', 'The Far Pavilions' and 'Tess Of The D'Urbervilles' to musical biographies of iconic historical figures Leonardo Da Vinci, Toulouse Lautrec and Bernadette Soubirous.

The 'Lost West End' musicals included are: 'Liza Of Lambeth' (1976), 'Troubadour' (1978), 'I' (1983), 'Y' (1983), 'Mutiny!' (1985), 'Bernadette - The People's Musical' (1990), 'Valentine's Day' (1992), 'Which Witch' (1992), 'Robin Prince Of Sherwood' (1993), 'Leonardo - A Portrait Of Love' (1993), 'Out Of The Blue' (1994), 'Prisoner Cell Block H' (1995), 'Maddie' (1997), 'Tess Of The D'Urbervilles' (1999), 'Lautrec' (2000) 'La Cava' (2000), 'Beautiful And Damned' (2004), 'The Far Pavilions' (2005), 'Behind The Iron Mask' (2005), 'Gone With The Wind' (2008), 'Too Close To The Sun' (2009).

The album features a glittering ensemble of West End vocalists including; Graham Bickley, Meredith Braun, Simon Burke, David Essex, Susannah Fellows, Alexander Hanson, Angela Richards and Andrew C. Wadsworth.

Although the shows didn't last, their music lives on and this collection affirms that the musicals featured are well worth rediscovering.

REVIEWS

"Lost West End emerges as a joyous and varied collection of fascinating musical curiosities that have been rescued from obscurity and preserved for posterity. It will raise curiosity about the shows from which the tracks are derived, but offers musical theatre fans a great compilation of mostly-strong and unknown songs." 
*****

ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS

"I love compilations like this - not the usual well-known stuff but songs from shows that may have flopped and gone but, in a strange way, will never be forgotten. Thank you once again, Stage Door Records!"
MUSICAL THEATRE REVIEW

"An enjoyable walk down memory lane."
BROADWAY WORLD

"Stage Door say "Although the shows didn't last, their music lives on and this collection affirms that the musicals featured are well worth rediscovering". And I couldn't agree more, and eagerly await a promised Volume 2." 9/10
