Tim Rice Attends FROM HERE TO ETERNITY Rehearsals

Multi-award-winning lyricist Sir Tim Rice attended the first rehearsals for the new West End musical FROM HERE TO ETERNITY earlier this week and a photo of the Broadway, Hollywood and West End notable has appeared, marking the momentous occasion.

The cast and company of FROM HERE TO ETERNITY shared their first "aloha" as they now join together to embark on the journy of telling the compelling story made famous first by a classic novel and then as an iconic film.

Starring Darius Campbell, Siubahn Harrison, Robert Lonsdale, Ryan Sampson and Rebecca Thornhill, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY features lyrics by Sir Tim Rice and music by Stuart Brayson, with book by Bill Oakes and direction by Tamara Harvey.

The official plot synopsis of FROM HERE TO ETERNITY is as follows: "Pearl Harbor, 1941, where the girls sing 'don'cha like Hawaii,' the men of G Company sing the blues, and where even on an army base, love and desire are never very far away. When the troubled Private Prewitt falls for the kind hearted escort club girl Lorene, and when his platoon sergeant, Warden, embarks on a dangerous affair with his commanding officer's wife, Karen, the lives of both men are set on a course they cannot control. As war approaches, the worlds of the four lovers and the soldiers of G Company are dramatically ripped apart."

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY begins previews on September 30 at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End. More information is available at the official site here.
