En garde! Watch your woolly hats and UGG boots as a bunch of sword-clad rogues and vagabonds hit snow-ridden Surrey.
Home-grown composing talent Stiles & Drewe (Mary Poppins, Honk, Peter Pan) give us a fresh take on our favourite swashbucklers based on the classic French tales which were originally penned by Alexandre Dumas more than two centuries ago. Completed in 2009, their work dons a contemporary musical theatre score, far removed from the PG Wodehouse/Rudolf Friml operetta-style version that played on Broadway back in 1928.
Originally of German heritage, Jennifer Reischel was raised and schooled in various languages, predominantly in the Far East.
Completing a BA Hons in musical theatre at Mountview Academy London) in 2002 at age 21, Jennifer has since gathered various professional performance experience on stage and screen.
After several years of experiencing the pitfalls and difficulties of this industry first hand, she decided to compile her knowledge in the form of a practical, no-nonsense and to-the-point guide, including advice on a career in musical theatre. The result, "So you want to tread the boards" is published by JRBooks with a foreword by Oscar-winning composer Leslie Bricusse.
Further writing includes articles for the "Actors Yearbook 2008" and The Stage newspaper.
