Asaf Zohar, Gavin Sutherland, National Theatre - Ballet Shoes (World Premiere Recording) (2025) [Hi-Res]

This album is the World Premiere Recording of the score for the National Theatre's major production of "Ballet Shoes". Based on the beloved classic novel by Noel Streatfeild and adapted by Kendall Feaver, the play tells the inspiring story of three adopted sisters—Pauline, Petrova, and Posy Fossil. Set in 1930s London, the narrative follows the girls as they struggle to forge their own identities and careers in a crumbling house filled with fossils, navigating a world not originally built for female ambition.

The score, composed by Asaf Zohar with orchestrations and arrangements by Gavin Sutherland, is integral to the production's atmosphere. The music blends the warmth of a family tale with the spirited energy of period big bands and a sweeping, cinematic quality that underscores the sisters' dreams of the stage, the skies, and dance. The recording is released by Broadway Records, a label dedicated to preserving musical theatre heritage.
