Jane Eyre is beautiful and nothing with cease my love for James Barbour.

I saw my high school do it and it was gorgeous. VERY overlooked.

Bwaysinger: Could not agree more: the Broadway version did have some good changes, but they were mostly bad ones.

Anyway, I was hooked on Jane Eyre the moment I saw "Sirens" performed on the Tony Awards. I admit that some of the songs bore me (mostly Mrs. Fairfax's,) and aside from a few song additions on the OBC I far prefer the Toronto cast recording to the Broadway (not because of the cast but because of the aforementioned changes and because the older version was more accurate to the novel) but the score for the most part is just absolutely gorgeous.

If by chance you're in Pittsburgh, PA... Point Park University is currently performing 'Jane Eyre the musical'.

For the OP who was asking about the Toronto Cast Recording, here it is, for your downloading pleasure.

Is that link BWW-illegal? I don't think it should be since the cd IS out of print, but oh well if it is. Oopsies.

Crivello was so great in this, eons better than James Barbour was. It was sad that they cut him loose when they went to Broadway.

I love him on "Secret Soul."

And his "Farewell, Good Angel" is so intense.

That link is going to make a lot of people happy until it maybe comes down. The Toronto CR is really great.

Farewell Good Angel is my favorite.

Eh...I'll just repost if it gets taken down anyway, it's a good thing and it's not like anyone is losing any $$$ from it. It's my duty to spread the Crivello love, lol. And if anything it'll get more people interested in Jane Eyre, don't you think? :)

I've never seen the show but I think the score of Jane Eyre is absolutely gorgeous and I personally feel there's actually a subtlety to the score that is absent from shows like Les Miserables (which I like very much).
