Producers of The Water Babies, which will receive its world premiere at the Leicester Curve Theatre later this year, have released the first song from the musical. You can listen to the number, entitled 'Waiting For You', below.
'Waiting For You' is performed by the previously announced Louise Dearman who will play Mrs D. She is joined by Lauren Samuels who will play Ellie. The Water Babies is a brand new musical inspired by Charles Kingsley's classic novel.
Directed by Ed Curtis, with music by Chris Egan, and book and lyrics by Ed Curtis and Guy Jones, the new musical will open at the Leicester Curve Theatre on 30th April (previews from the 24th April) and runs until 17th May 2014 featuring landmark special effects. If the show is well received it is likely to transfer to the West End.
