The Chichester Festival Theatre cast of ‘Flowers For Mrs Harris‘ has reunited to record the first official recording of Richard Taylor and Rachel Wagstaff’s award-winning musical, based on Paul Gallico’s novel.
On 29 July 2020, the entire ‘Flowers for Mrs Harris’ cast and orchestra reunited, and stepped once more onto the Chichester Festival Theatre stage, almost two years since the show was performed there, to make this recording.
‘Flowers for Mrs Harris’ is the story of Ada Harris, a char-lady in post-war London whose drab life of dusting and scrubbing is transformed when she glimpses a Christian Dior dress in one of her client’s wardrobes and sets her heart on going to Paris to buy one for herself.
The 2018 Chichester Festival production was directed by Daniel Evans, with a cast led by Clare Burt (who won a UK Theatre Award for her performance), Joanna Riding and Gary Wilmot. Also in the cast are Claire Machin, Louis Maskell, Mark Meadows, Laura Pitt-Pulford, Nicola Sloane, Luke Latchman and Rhona McGregor.
The Cast Recording of ‘Flowers For Mrs Harris’ will be released on CD and Digital Download on 3 December 2020.
