MEANING OF THE LAW OF PROBENATION

According to David Soames, who co-wrote the show:
"The law of probenation is a play on the word "probation" which is handed out to a criminal by the British courts, it means that they are on probation to behave themselves otherwise the court will call them back and impose a custodial sentence on said criminal for whatever crime they may have commited!"

The finale' song from TIME--The Musical is a song called "It's In Every One Of Us".

This song can also be heard near the end of the Tom Hanks movie "BIG", as he is looking at his
childhood friends and wishing to go back to his old life.

TIME--The Musical was designed by John Napier
(the designer for CATS and SUNSET BLVD)
who later went on to design the Siegfried and Roy magic show at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

Siegfried and Roy were such big fans of TIME--The Musical
they had their costumes for their own show fashioned
after the look of Melchisedic, The Time Lord from the London production.

    BEFORE E-MAILING PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
    AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO CD AVAILABLE
    Unfortunately, the only album that was recorded was the concept album. No cast album was ever made. The concept album was only released on record and audio tape and went out of print before CD's were popular. Therefore, it was never transferred onto CD and has never been available in this format. MP3's had not yet been invented when the music went out of print so it is likewise not available.
    The records and audio tapes have been out of print since the late 1980's and cannot be found or purchased except in private collections.
    Occasionally people who have contacted this site have been able to find copies on eBay or similar auction sites. If you are interested in getting a copy of the record or audio tape for yourself you might try there.
    Good luck!
