The future of musical theatre is looking bright with students such as these finalists, who can all say, as Carlotta sings in Sondheim’s Follies, “I got through all of last year and I’m here.”
THE cast of an award-winning musical are celebrating after their soundtrack reached number one. The soundtrack to the hit musical Fiver was released on Friday, March 5 and went straight to the number one spot on the iTunes Soundtrack chart. Fiver The Live Concert Recording is made up of performances from three live-stream concert versions of the show which took place in November last year. WE DID IT! We are number 1 in the iTunes Soundtrack charts thank you to everyone who pre-ordered! The cast recording is out now on all streaming sites so get listening! #fiveralbum#fivermusicalpic.twitter.com/uRCz3HaAUD FIVER Musical (@FiverMusical) March 5, 2021
