Entertaining yet challenging...
Intelligent yet raunchy...
Sometimes moving, sometimes uplifting, sometimes uproarious, occasionally frankly offensive...
But always fun (and tuneful) is how Paul Leigh would describe Tom Jones.
This is the second time that Paul has worked with George Stiles and they have developed a 'unique' affection for each other!
"Most composers of my acquaintance are a note short of an octave. In George's case, the difference is only a few micro tones..."
Paul describes the musical's style as fluid, fast, furious, funny, farcical, fol-de-rol-de-rol.
"After the success of our previous collaboration, 'Moll Flanders', we were both itching to set our hands to another period drama with an extraordinarily complex plot and a huge cast of characters. Or, then again, perhaps it was a commission...
I hope that Tom Jones will bring a little joy into as many people's lives as possible..."
