NewsSeptember 2016Jason is delighted to announce an event-packed autumn! He has composed incidental music for The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark at the Unicorn Theatre. This is suitable for very small children aged 2-6, so why not introduce your favourite small people to theatre with some lovely cello music, recorded by the incomparable Andrea Hess?

Then we come to my autumn’s main event - a ‘developmental production’ of my and Ashley Robinson’s new musical Lockhart, performed by Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts students at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in North London. It’s a ‘Southern Gothic’ story, and a completely original musical. We’re very excited about the piece and by the wonderful young talents performing it. A first-rate creative team is helmed by Broadway’s Matt Cowart. Please come and support new writing! Bernie Grant Arts Centre November 2016So, it’s already a busy schedule, but I couldn’t say no to orchestrating She Loves Me for the Menier Chocolate Factory. It's one of the most beautiful Broadway scores ever, and reunites me with the Menier Candide’s director Matt White and star Scarlett Strallen.

ANNE REID and I will undoubtedly be throwing a few festive notes into our programme on Dec 18th and 19th. We’ll also be back at Zedel in January 9th-12th with an all new show.

There’s another chance to catch Sophie Louise Dann singing a fantastic array of famous and lesser-known Broadway Standards in the revue Bernstein Revealed at JW3 Journalist Edward Seckerson has personal reminiscences of interviewing the great maestro, and I get to plays excerpts from LB’s piano concerto manqué The Age of Anxiety, as well as duetting with the glorious Ms Dann.
