A musical based on the best-selling novel ‘The Time Traveller’s Wife’ is coming to London this autumn in a new stage adaptation with music and lyrics by Grammy winners Dave Stewart and Joss Stone.
“The Time Traveller’s Wife: The Musical,” about the relationship between artist Clare and her husband Henry, who suffers from a genetic disease that causes him to travel through time, will be released at the Apollo Theater in November after being released last year. British city of Chester for a short time.
The musical is based on American author Audrey Niffenegger’s 2003 debut novel, which has since been made into a film and television series. American playwright Lauren Gunderson adapted it for the stage by focusing on Clare’s perspective of her as she coped with her husband’s absences.
British musician Stewart, co-founder of 1980s pop duo Eurythmics, and singer Stone said they drew on their own experiences of being away from loved ones on tour to write the show’s songs.
“People, as soon as they sit down, they realize this isn’t about time travel, it’s about every family, every relationship,” Stewart told reporters on Monday.
“All she feels is because she’s away from the person she loves…she always misses him, she’s always worried about him,” Stone added.
Stewart, 70, and Stone, 36, have been collaborating for a long time, but writing songs for a musical brought new challenges.
“It’s completely different because every time the script changes, the whole scene can be taken out (and affect the music),” said Stewart.
