Whilst the show’s central theme, based on true historical accounts, explodes through a mix of rock music and memorable ballads, like all new musicals, this is a work in progress.
Following on from a highly praised Showcase performance in October 2024, a concept album of 12 songs from the show was recorded with artists Ben Forster, and two other soloists.
Information will be going out to selected Producers and Investors here in the UK and in the USA, all of whom have heard great reports about the Showcase performance and love the songs on the album.
With its topical theme and historical background, just over 100 years later this new musical could not be more relevant to the state of the world we currently inhabit.
