EXCLUSIVE BRITISH PREMIERE‘ (ehem)

My name is Jane Eyre. My story begins, gentle audience, a long age ago, in the dark and lonely attic of Gateshead Hall…’
The famous story of Jane Eyre makes for a dramatic storyline in this gripping new musical. This haunting adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s novel opened in 2000 on Broadway, to rave reviews. Composer Paul Gordon (who wrote for artists such as Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson and Quincy Jones) creates a sumptuous listening experience, especially for its memorable melodies and lyrics. The show’s creators come closer than anyone could have imagined to capturing the spirit – and spirituality - of this dark, Cinderella-like story.

Premier Theatre Company, famous for Chess, Mack & Mabel and Ragtime The Musical, return to the Grand, to offer patrons another opportunity to witness a ‘premiere’.

The cast:
With Abbey Dudgeon (Jane Eyre?), Amy Edwards (young Jane Eyre?), Andrew Tuton (Rochester), Ann McLoughlin and Anne Lloydjones (Bertha Mason)
