Two Cities: Original London Cast / O.C.R.

Charles Dickens' classic novel 'A Tale Of Two Cities' was developed as a musical in the mid sixties by theatre producer Jerry Wayne who commissioned his son Jeff to compose the score for the project. With a book by Constance Cox, music by Jeff Wayne and lyrics by Jerry Wayne; 'Two Cities' opened at London's Palace Theatre on February 27th 1969. The musical starred Edward Woodward (as Sydney Carton), Kevin Colson (as Charles Darnay), Elizabeth Power (as Lucie Manette), Nicolette Roeg (as Madame Defarge) and Leone Greene (as Monsieur Defarge). Although reviews were mixed, 'Two Cities' was nominated for 'Best Musical' at the 1969 Variety Club and Evening Standard Awards with Edward Woodward winning for 'Best Male Performance in a Musical'. The CD features previously unreleased original 1966 demo recordings for the show, including several songs that would be later cut from the production.
