To be released on the anniversary of what would have been the late Eric Woolfson s 68th birthday Somewhere in the Audience is a compilation of music from four of Eric s musicals GAUDI , GAMBLER , POE and DANCING SHADOWS . THE VOCALISTS Leading West End and Broadway performers have lent their talents to recording new vocals for a selection of songs from Woolfson s musicals including: Steve Balsamo (Jesus Christ Superstar); Anna-Jane Casey (Chicago) ; Sharon D Clarke (Ghost the musical); Jacqui Dankworth (Les Miserables); Louise Dearman (Wicked); Pia Douwes (Chicago); Ben Forster (Jesus Christ Superstar); James Fox (Let it Be, Chess); Gareth Gates (Les Miserables, runner up in UK s first Pop Idol); Tim Howar (Rock of Ages, Mike & The Mechanics); Jon Lee (Jersey Boys, S Club 7); Oliver Tompsett (Rock of Ages, Wicked). The late Eric Woolfson was the creator, songwriter and lyricist of The Alan Parsons Project, which has sold over 50 million albums world-wide and continues to sell and be used in films and adverts internationally. After completing the final APP album in 1986 Eric turned his attention to musical theatre a seemingly natural progression as he always wrote concept albums with a theme or story in mind. As the APP never toured, seeing his material come to life on the musical stage brought Eric tremendous satisfaction and enjoyment. The musicals have all had great success on stages in Europe and Asia. It was Eric s ambition to have these shows presented on stages in the West End and Broadway and it is hoped this will become a reality.
