Center Stage Records has announced the release of The Lightning Thief: Original London Cast Recording on CD. The album is also available in streaming and digital formats.

As Lorna Courtney took her final bow as 'Veronica Sawyer' in Heathers the Musical, she 'passed the mallet' to the production's new star, Kuhoo Verma. In a new video, Courtney hands over the croquet mallet to Verma before she joins the company.

Based on the multi Oscar and BAFTA award winning film, Chariots of Fire is inspired by the extraordinary true story of Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams, as they strive for glory in the 1924 Paris Olympics. 

CENTER STAGE RECORDS will host a special online Listening Party for the new album The Lightning Thief: Original London Cast Recording. The event will be hosted by Max Harwood and Samantha Mbolekwa, joined by their fellow original London cast members.

Last month, Moulin Rouge! The Musical welcomed new cast members, including Karis Anderson as Satine and Alistair Brammer as Christian, the two leads of the show.

We discussed what made each of them want to be a part of the production, what makes this such a unique musical and even some of their favourite moments from the show!
