Isn't There
Another
Jane Eyre Musical?
Yes. In fact,
there have been
at least
five other (successful) musical versions of
Jane Eyre
since the
1960s! (And the 60s version was a revival of an earlier production.)
Of course, Suzannah and I were not aware of this when we began working
on
Jane Eyre, The Musical Classic.
(And I know a myriad of obscure shows. Certainly, I thought, if one of
my all–time favorite novels had been turned into a musical, I would know
about it! But it wasn’t so.)
Yet, rather than set aside our work, Suzannah and I plunged ourselves
fully into finishing
Jane Eyre, The Musical Classic.
We both feel passionate about the story, and we believe that other
musical versions of Jane leave something to be desired. While only time
will tell if our production will be the definitive one, we feel strongly
that what we are doing is worthwhile, and that
Jane Eyre
fans will leave our production inspired—and singing.
