01 Jul THIS WEEK: From Here to Eternity Cinema Screenings AND Release of the Original Cast Recording

Filmed in the Shaftesbury Theatre, Tim Rice’s new musical, From Here to Eternity, is coming to cinemas nationwide this Thursday, July 3rd for one night only! On the same day, the original cast recording will be released for download on iTunes ahead of a CD release in August.

Here at Gingerhibiscus, we absolutely loved the show and score, but felt it wasn’t given enough of a chance at the Shaftesbury; hopefully this recording will reach more people, and get everyone else as excited about it as we are.

“Pearl Harbor, 1941, where the girls sing “don’cha like Hawaii”, the men of G Company sing the blues, and where even on an army base, love and desire are never very far away. When the troubled Private Prewitt falls for the kind hearted escort club girl Lorene, and when his platoon sergeant, Warden, embarks on a dangerous affair with his commanding officer’s wife, Karen, the lives of both men are set on a course they cannot control. As war approaches, the worlds of the four lovers and the soldiers of G Company are dramatically ripped apart. Sir Tim Rice’s magnificent new musical From Here To Eternity is adapted from one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century; a gripping tale of illicit love and army life which translates in to a breath-taking, romantic and excitingly original show, set to join the front rank of great musicals.”
