(Stiles And Drewe) Featuring award-winning West End stars Jo Riding, Clive Rowe, Jenna Russell and Claire Moore, together with mulit-award winning writers George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. 1997 Live recording at the now defunct Imagination Sound Studios in London.

Stiles & Drewe’s musical Honk! is a world-wide stage sensation that has been seen by over 5 million people, after winning the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical (beating the Lion King and Mamma Mia for the prize). If you’re into musicals, this cast is solid West-End gold:

Claire Moore has played the lead in a host of West-End blockbusters and originated the role of Ellen in Miss Saigon; Jo Riding starred in Nick Hytner’s revival of Carousel, won the Olivier as Eliza in My Fair Lady as well as creating one of the three title roles in the Witches of Eastwick; Clive Rowe starred as the Cat in Honk! in the NT tour. won the Olivier Award for Guys and Dolls, and is one the best panto dames in the country; and Jenna Russell recently scooped the Olivier as Dot in Sunday in the Park With George, having played Sarah Brown to Ewan McGregor’s Sky Masterson in the recent revival of Guys & Dolls and is now starring in “Sunday” on Broadway.

Never intended for release, the writers recently “discovered” this uniquely cast recording in their archives and decided to release it, as a treat for the millions of Honk! fans all over the world.
