Listen "Darren Clark"
Episode Synopsis
This week, my guest is the wonderful Darren Clark, composer of The Wicker Husband and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – my most recent pick for Musical theatre Review’s show of the year. He’s also the founder of New UK Musicals – an online repository for sheet music and backing tracks from new shows, as well as the casting website Actor Musician UK.The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which Darren wrote with Jethro Compton, is transferring to the West End’s Ambassadors Theatre from October, so do check out the link below and make sure you get tickets. As I say a hundred times throughout this episode, it is the most remarkable piece of theatre and you do not want to miss its West End debut.In this episode, we discuss his shows, his approach to composition, and some of the musicals that have inspired him.
