The UK premiere production of Jane Eyre A Musical has released a new EP and accompanying music video ahead of its opening at Southwark Playhouse Elephant later this summer.
Released on Westway Music, Highlights From The UK Premiere Cast features three songs from the musical by John Caird and Paul Gordon, based on Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel.
The EP includes the newly released track ‘Sirens’, performed by Ashley Gilmour as Rochester and Charlie Burn as Jane, alongside ‘Sweet Liberty’ and ‘Secret Soul’.
