Henry and Clare’s relationship is like no other. And yet, it’s like all others. Clare is a talented sculptor and Henry is - well - a time traveller. They meet, fall in love, and marry – but not in that order. Flung apart by time but united by love, Henry is always trying to get back to Clare. Their journey is one of resilience, impossibilities and trying to hold on to each other when everything is pulling them apart...

The Time Traveller's Wife: The Musical is based on the best-selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger and the New Line Cinema film, with screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin. It has an original musical score and lyrics by multi–Grammy Award-winning composers Joss Stone and Dave Stewart.

The album contains 16 songs (54 min, 41 sec) from the musical. The songs are instantly accessible and will delight musical theatre fans even if they haven't seen the show. And while there's nothing here that stands out as anything more than average fare, all the tracks have merit and, over time you'll find each has its own unique charm.

From the power ballad feel of 'Wait For Me' to the rock opera feel of 'Journeyman' there's plenty of diversity to get behind.

This is a well layered and wonderfully structured collection of strong songs that you'll grow to love.
