Theatrelands First Supergroup
Take the outstanding vocal talent of four good looking young men and a unique collection of timeless classics from musical theatre and you have all the ingredients for the success of Teatro. Already billed as Theatreland’s First Supergroup, their eponymous debut album was released 26th November.
As a vocal group Teatro captures the zeitgeist which has elevated musical theatre to new heights of popularity. Prime time TV shows like Any Dream Will Do and How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria have attracted huge audiences and a record seven and a half million musical theatre tickets were sold in the UK last year.
The band evolved through a process of four hugely talented and like-minded singers – three British and one American – deciding that Teatro’s moment was at hand coming together through a happy mixture of invitation, recommendation and friendships. Each had already achieved outstanding success on both sides of the Atlantic.
Teatro, the album, features the great anthems from a century of musicals which have captivated successive generations including numbers such as Music of the Night (Phantom of the Opera), Maria (from West Side Story), Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina (Evita), Somewhere Over The Rainbow (The Wizard Of Oz) and Love Changes Everything (Aspects Of Love). Testimony to the album and the musical heritage on which it uniquely draws is the fact the shows from which the songs originate have between them won an astonishing collection of 23 Oscars, 11 Golden Globes, 39 Tony Awards and 3 Grammy’s.
