Here’s a lovely thing. 70 actors from 6 revivals of Maury Yeston's Tony-winning musical TITANIC have joined forces to record a glorious rendition of the stirring 'We'll Meet Tomorrow' from the show.
The video hopes to raise funds for the U.K. based charity Acting For Others. It’s also a fitting celebration of an ambitious and daring production by the brilliant director Thom Southerland. It began life on the London fringe in 2013 at the Southwark Playhouse, was remounted at the Charing Cross Theatre three years later and has subsequently been seen on several UK and International tours.
Yeston and Peter Stone's luscious musical, told from the perspective of several characters aboard the doomed ocean liner, won five Tony Awards when it premiered on Broadway in 1997, including Best Musical.
Appearing in the video, accompanied by musicians from the 2019 China tour are performers from Titanic productions at the Southwark Playhouse (2013), Princess of Wales, Toronto (2015), Charing Cross Theatre (2016), as well as the U.K. tour (2018), Germany tour (2019), and China tour (2019).
