Reviews of Cast Recordings, Soundtracks from Musicals & Music

London Musical Theatre Orchestra’s debut album GIRLFRIENDS

Paradise Lost album cover

Like many people throughout the world I’ve heard of John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost but never actually got around to reading it. Let’s be honest the original 1667 version was over 10,000 lines of verse – all very worthy but not exactly right for a quick read on the bus. Luckily, Lee Ormsby and Jonathan Wakeham not only read it but decided it could be translated into a musical and the result “Paradise Lost” has been recorded into a concept album that left me begging for the show to be made … [Read more...]
