The In-Between is a new fantasy musical written entirely by Laura Tisdall, an up and coming musical theatre writer. The show is a fully written, two act production which is yet to receive any commercial backing. Therefore this original concept album is great publicity to showcase Tisdall's work, and judging by what I have heard, she ought be snapped up immediately. All of the orchestrations, original instrumental programming, recording, mixing, lyrics and book have been done by Tisdall which is no mean feat! This is one talented lady.

Celebrated British songwriting duo George Stiles and Anthony Drewe will be joining Tim McArthur live on Resonance 104.4FM this Friday at 12pm for a very special edition of The Curtain Up Show.

The concept of new musical The In-Between, featuring nine leading West End stars, was released on June 23, 2012. Cast members Daniel Boys and Lauren Samuels and composer Laura Tisdall attended a special CD signing on the day at Dress Circle Shop to launch the album. Check out photos from the event below!

Check out these production images for the London premiere of the sung-play SPINACH at the King's Head Theatre, Islington, from Tuesday 12 June - Saturday 7 July. Spinach is not a musical. It is not an opera. It is a play where every word just happens to be sung.

Tom and Kate can't remember a thing…not about the last few days anyway. Everything is a total blank, except for a halloumi kebab and a double-decker bus. As piece by piece they unravel their memories, each step brings them closer to knowing their captors, closer to their terrifying fate… and closer to each other. That's the premise of Spinach, a through-sung play that runs at the King's Head in Islington from June 12. And Cassandra Compton, formerly of Wicked and Les Miserables, is one-quarter of the cast.
