FIRST LISTEN: I've Always Had A Dream From The Upcoming LOST WEST END 2 Album

Stage Door Records are pleased to make available a "first listen" of the complete track 'I've Always Had A Dream' from the forthcoming album 'LOST WEST END 2'. The song is from the 1977 musical 'Drake's Dream' which opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre on December 7th 1977 and ran for 82 performances. The track is performed by leading actor / singer (and former lead vocalist of Manfred Mann) Paul Jones.

LOST WEST END 2 celebrates London's forgotten musicals and brings together over 20 unique 'lost' West End productions on one album. The collection reflects nearly 40 years of musicals that have come and gone from the West End, showcasing these unique theatrical works. Ranging from 1970 to 2008, all the musicals featured had relatively short London residencies and although they weren't always met with critical praise, they nevertheless contain interesting, memorable scores and performances that deserve to be heard.

The 'Lost West End' musicals featured on the album are: 'Isabel's A Jezebel' (Duchess Theatre 1970), 'Bordello' (Queen's Theatre 1974), 'Jack The Ripper' (Ambassadors Theatre 1974), 'Maggie' (Shaftesbury Theatre 1977), 'Dean' (London Casino 1977), 'Fire Angel' (Her Majesty's Theatre 1977), 'After Shave' (Apollo Theatre 1977), 'Flowers For Algernon' (Queen's Theatre 1979), 'Wild, Wild Women' (Astoria Theatre 1982), 'Blondel' (Aldwych Theatre 1984), 'The Importance' (Ambassadors Theatre 1984), 'Winnie' (Victoria Palace 1988), 'Moby Dick' (Piccadilly Theatre 1992), 'Voyeurz' (Whitehall Theatre 1996), 'Boyband - The Musical' (Gielgud Theatre 1999), 'Casper' (Shaftesbury Theatre 1999) 'Napoleon' (Shaftesbury Theatre 2000), 'Money To Burn' (The Venue 2003), 'Murderous Instincts' (Savoy Theatre 2004), 'Zorro' (Garrick Theatre 2008), 'Imagine This' (New London Theatre 2008)
