The winning song 'Fly Away' features Tobias Turley and was recorded live at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
Jo - The Little Women Musical is celebrating their honor in the American Songwriter Magzine's “2025 Song Contest” with a special music video. The selection “Fly Away” is the First Place Winner in the publication's first-ever category for “Musical Theatre” song.
The “Fly Away” music video – featuring Grammy Award nominee Christine Allado (Hamilton) as Jo March and Tobias Turley (Mamma Mia!) as Theodore ‘Laurie' Laurence – was recorded live at January's all-star concert at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
“We are thrilled that ‘Fly Away' from Jo - The Little Women Musical has been recognized by the American Songwriter Song Contest,” says the song's composer Dan Redfeld. “As this is a brand-new category, we are honored that the distinguished judging panel picked our act-one closer. It's a joy to now share the video of ‘Fly Away' from our concert at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The show was a sold-out hit with the audience and we look forward to the next steps in Jo's journey.”
Jo - The Little Women Musical features music by Dan Redfeld, and book and lyrics by Christina Harding and John Gabriel Koladziej.
