TESS writers Michael Blore and Michael Davies have announced the casting of another key role for the forthcoming album recording of their new British musical.
Tess’s ale-addled father John is to be played by musical theatre veteran James Dinsmore.

Recently appearing in Corbyn the Musical at the Waterloo East Theatre in London, James has worked for leading producer Bill Kenwright in productions of An Ideal Husband and Half a Sixpence. Other credits include Annie, Little Shop of Horrors, Darling of the Day, The Sound of Music, Oliver! and Chess.
He has sung with Scottish Opera in performances of La Boheme
and Wagner's Ring cycle and appeared in Die Fledermaus, 
The Mikado and The Gondoliers with the Carl Rosa Opera Company.

 
'QUALITY SINGERS' 

Lyricist Davies said: “The quality of singers who are willing to support this exciting project has been quite extraordinary. We are absolutely delighted that James, with his hugely impressive track record in musical theatre and opera, has joined our talented cast, and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”

TESS is a fully sung-through adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s much-loved novel Tess of the d’Urbervilles. Pre-production work on the album of the show is already under way, with further casting news expected over the coming weeks and recording scheduled for the summer of 2016. 
​
The album will be produced by Sunim Koria, with orchestrations by composer Blore.
