Jane Eyre is my favorite book and anytime I see a movie, series, or play about it I watch them. I've seen two other musicals, but this one has some amazing songs. The two leads have amazing voices and have given us wonderful versions of the characters. Thank you with all my heart to everyone who performed in this and thank you to whomever posted it! I think I've seen it 12 times in the last two weeks.
Houston's Alley Theatre is currently having a production of Jane Eyre and it was surreal to be sitting in front of a "live action" Jane Eyre. I loved it. I really want to see it again but it's not cheap and that money needs to go towards more important things I have going on. I took my mom, it was great. It was 15 minutes shorter than this play, and non musical but it didn't include near this much of the book, Jane herself narrated throughout the play, let alone songs and dancing, I'm so impressed. The actors for the Alley Theatre productions are amazing. Her passionate outburst during the proposal was breathtaking. First time I felt that she truly did ask him that night, as he told her the next day. If you're close I'd check it out. It's until 5/5/2024.
As a huge fan of both Jane Eyre and muscial theater, I'm sorry to say this but I found this musical BORING. It's almost like Mr Richards picked put some famous lines from the book and created a musical around those. There was a "rollicking" dance number by the servants preparing the house for Rochester's return with his party guests, and the only inspiring romantic song was the one performed by servants John and Sophie (?!?!?!....NOT in the book!). I found all the other music to be humdrum, like something a Musical Studies student might write as a first year assignment.There were two lines that caused the audience to laugh inappropriately (one was when Jane commented that she was cold after putting out the fire and attempting to depart from Rochester....a moment of exquisite sweetness from the book, when he first realizes he's in love with her). There was very little interaction between Jane and Edward so the proposal came as something of a surprise. Apparently this show was like the Cliff Notes reminder for those fans who just needed a refresher of the general outline of the story, completely missing the emotional depth of the novel (or most successful theatrical productions). I know I've seen some clips from a far more dramatic and emotional Jane Eyre Musical, guess I'll have to see if that is also available on RU-vid. This version isn't even mentioned on Wikipedia!
Can you please identify what production this is? Who is the composer? I love the music, and would love to track it down! (it's not the music from the Broadway musical)
You can find out more about licensing this musical at our website: shop.stagescripts.com/categories/musicals/musicals-fully-developed/drama-classic-or-costume/jane-eyre.html Regrettably, the music on its own is not for sale.
Гоголевский сюжет Молочная капля июльской луны, добавленной в чёрную, летнюю влагу, истёкшей из звёздной и вспененной тьмы, туман создала, как сырую бумагу. Сатиновой краской наполнен простор. Замыленный сок покрывает все мели. Раствор просочился из поля во двор и хочет пролезть в даже трубы и щели. В деревне разлита мучная вода, как будто огромнейший призрак вселился, прилег на плоды, результаты труда. И храм христианский на то согласился. Белёсую смесь навело колдовство, с которым, увы, побороться нет силы. Лишь новый рассвет и его мастерство спасут и рассеют, всё сделав красивым!
Alley Theatre here in Houston is doing a production of Jane Eyre, it's a non musical. I really enjoyed it. I've been wondering how I'd feel about Jane Eyre going musical and I must say they've done a very impressive job of it. So much of the story is kept in, plus song and dance, and it's 2.5 hours? Impressive.
¿ DÓNDE ESTÁ TIMOTHY DALTON Y ZELAH CLARKE? ESTA HISTORIA DE AMOR ENTRE "JANE EYRE" Y EL "SÑR ROCHESTER" NO ES PARA COMO PARA HACER UN MÚSICAL. LO DIGO CON TODOS MÍS RESPETOS PARA LOS ACTORES QUE HACEN ESTA VERSIÓN. PERO TODO NO VALE CADA COSA EN SU LUGAR. ES MÍ OPINIÓN MUY PERSONAL. RESPETANDO LAS DEMÁS OPINIONES, FALTARÍA MÁS. GRACIAS. MARI.
