Jane Eyre: The Musical Book and lyrics by Rebecca Thompson and Kari Skousen Music by Bill Kilpatrick |
A new "Jane Eyre" musical is in development as I write this! Here you can learn more about it as it grows.
Updates:The original Rochester is now no longer apart of the show, but the replacement is rumored to be stupendous! Good luck, to all the cast members!
The co-creator of the musical, Rebecca Thompson, has sent me her thoughts and plans for the musical.
There was an article in Seattle's newspaper with an interview with Thompson and a short history of this new musical before the "exerpts".
Sheyna Watkins, who attended the "exerpts" performance, wrote a review of it.
Also, Sherry Schreck of Wenatchee, an English teacher and the producer/director of The Short Shakespeareans, attended the performance and wrote a review with a different view of the musical in process. After it's opening night on August 7, 1999, a review was written by Ian Bishop . If you are curious as to how this musical compares to the Gordon/Caird muiscal, both Watkins and Thompson have provided their thoughts and opinions (also includs more on the Thompson musical). Anxious to hear their beautiful music?
