Dave Stewart And Joss Stone Team Up For “Time Traveller’s Wife” Musical
The pair will contribute original music for an adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s bestseller expected to be on stage by early next year. Stewart and Stone, who collaborated on the SuperHeavy album in 2011 and Stone’s LP1 on Surfdog Records, have created the songs for the romance between Clare, an artist, and Henry, whose genetic disorder sends him hurtling into his past and future. In a statement, the songwriters said the experience had thrown them “into an eddy of emotive melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics to go with the push and pull of this unusual love story. We all time-travel in our relationships and in our lives in general, but to write something that people will see and hear happening live on stage is thrilling to imagine.”
