Tess of the D'urbervilles

The first complete recording of the 1999 West End musical 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles'. This CD release continues Stage Door's London cast album series and commitment to preserve "lost" British theatre scores of the past 50 years.

Evoking the physical passion and romantic landscape of the original Thomas Hardy novel, Stephen Edwards' musical adaptation of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' was conceived for the stage with producers Karen Louise Hebden and Bruce Athol MacKinnon over a five-year period. After various work shops, the musical was cast in April 1999 with Philippa Healey and Poppy Tierney alternating the title role alongside Alasdair Harvey as Alec D'Urberville and Jonathan Monks as Angel Clare.

Nearly fifteen years since the West End musical adaptation of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' was last seen on stage, Stage Door Records releases the first complete album representation of Stephen Edwards' score. Featuring tracks from the 1999 West End production alongside the previously unreleased 1998 studio cast recording, the album includes performances by Philippa Healey, Alasdair Harvey, Jonathan Monks, Cathy Sara, Martin Crewes, Mark Umbers, Heather Craney, Eliza Lumley and a supporting company of forty singers.
