Following last week’s first-listen video from Jason and the Golden Fleece with Bradley Jaden in the title role, the creators of the epic new musical based on the Greek myth have released a single, ‘For Evermore’, featuring Australian singer Amy Manford (The Phantom of the Opera, West End).
Jason and the Golden Fleece is a stage musical with original book, music and lyrics by British husband-and-wife team Amy Lyddon and Nick Morrell. Full of adventure, comedy and romance, with a touch of magic, it tells the story of the Greek mythological hero, Jason, and his epic quest for the Golden Fleece.
Manford sings the role of the princess Medea, a strong-willed sorceress who dreams of escaping from her confinement within the palace walls and finding love.
“When theatres became closed for the foreseeable future, we threw all of our energy into recording instead,” says Lyddon, the composer and lyricist.
“We’re thrilled to be releasing this track at a time when freedom – the main theme of this song – has such fresh importance. Amy is an incredible artist and we’re delighted to be collaborating with her.”
First performed at The Other Palace in 2019 as a school production and met with overwhelming success, the musical has been developed into a full-scale family show. First listen studio recordings have also been announced, featuring a host of West End stars, including Jarnéia Richard-Noel and Millie O’Connell (Six the Musical), Katherine Glover (Thoroughly Modern Millie) and Rob Houchen (City of Angels). Music production for the video is by Ben Robbins with filming by Jack Scott.
‘For Evermore’ is available worldwide across all streaming platforms from 11 June 2021.
