Tale CD
So I wanted to do a little update on the Tale experience over in the UK. It was truly amazing.
We rehearsed the "staged" version of the show or about a week. The filmed version of the show was created for Public television and will be aired as part of their pledge drive much like the Three Tenors or the Les Mis thing years ago.
So we had to re-stage the show with the television set and the new cast members. I have to take my hat off to those guys, they had a little a very short time to learn a great deal of material.
Here's a pic of the outside of the Theatre Royal Brighton where we filmed the show for DVD. A beautiful jewel box of a theatre with rich history.
And also during the rehearsal time for the staging we also began to record the CD. I would more call it the International Cast of A Tale Of Two Cities. Here's a photo of the recording studio SPHERE. I can't tell you how many superstars have graced the halls of this studio. There are Platinum records hanging all over the walls.
That's the great Mike Reed in the studio conducting.
So...the CD was recorded and will be released (from what I understand) when the DVD of the show is released in December. Great Christmas presents huh?!

Thank you, James and everybody. I really love this book and, although I don't see it (I'm from Spain), I love this show. Your voice and performance are amazing. You were the best Edward Rochester and you are the best Sydney Carton. My two favourite characters are alive in you.
Thanks again.

I must say, I expected to see some landscape shots of Brighton, as well, since it is such a beautiful
place to behold. Perhaps in another post?
It was awesome attending your show at Hofstra and we look forward to getting the DVD and CD of the UK version of TOTC.
Of course knowing how PBS works in the past guess that there just may be the ability to get tix to a special show.
