THE BRAND NEW STUDIO CAST ALBUM FEATURING WEST END STARS IS AVAILABLE NOW TO PRE-ORDER FROM WWW.SIMGPRODUCTIONS.COM

John Milton’s PARADISE LOST: one of the most exciting and influential stories ever written. Its classic themes of good vs. evil, of forbidden love and the temptation of power are also at the root of all of today’s cinematic and theatrical superheroes as they battle great external evils — and the villainy inside themselves.

PARADISE LOST has been brought to the stage before, but it has always felt more suited to the study than the stadium, more like a thesis than theatre. This new musical version takes it right back where it began — as a bold, visionary best-seller that tackles human themes on a heavenly scale with sweeping meodies, a cinematic score and an epic battle of good vs evil.

Lee Ormsby (Music & story) and Jonathan Wakeham's (Book and lyrics) version of PARADISE LOST sets a love story against the epic backdrop of the war in Heaven. At its heart it’s the story of three angels: Angelis, Michael and Lucifer, who now calls himself Satan. Angelis is young, ambitious and new to the Empyrean: the centre of Heaven, where its power resides. Within a day she has met Michael, the captain of the army, and Satan, who had once been promised Michael’s role and now stalks Heaven seething with resentment — and a plan.

For new world is being formed, and a new race to inhabit it. That world is Earth, and that race is man. Heaven’s plan is for mankind to be given the new planet, and with it their own free will. Satan’s plan is to seize the new world for himself, in revenge for the role that was taken from him. His rebellion will set in motion a war that threatens Heaven. And as Angelis is torn between the brave, obedient Michael and the thrilling, dangerous Satan, the choice she has to make will change everything.

This PARADISE LOST is a story of struggle to balance ambition and duty, love and desire during a time of culture clash, political violence and change.

This is a story for our time, and for all time.
