To help you decide whether Below Stairs would suit your company, we can email a PDF of the 48-page lib. In addition, we have DVDs of the 2002 premiere, the 2004 Staines and, most recent, 2007 Cumbria productions. These are available at £4 each to cover costs and postage. Since the musical has been revised after each production, the latest has the advantage of being the most up-to-date: indeed, it is likely that it will remain the definitive version. Please note, however, that it was filmed at dress rehearsal and so includes glitches and excludes audience applause.
If you are interested, e-mail your details, including your name and address and phone number to BeStMusical@btinternet.com. Alternatively, give composer Alan Lewis a call on 01494 564512.
At present, the show is available for amateur and professional production. Amateur productions are royalty-free: instead we ask only that money be raised for Cancer Research UK Ltd, since composing and promoting the show helped keep Alan sane through three major cancer operations..
Below Stairs is available in two forms: a piano score or a three-part arrangement by Bryan Williams for piano, electronic keyboard (variously brass, string, woodwind, etc. as appropriate to the number) and double bass.
