The Music
The music in A Tale of Fellowship is a beautiful mix of folk, film score and tradition musical theatre. From breathtaking dramatic moments during the battles of WW1, to deeply intimate moments between Tolkien, his wife Edith and the members of his fellowship.
It’s a score that takes you on an adventure through an entire world of emotions, with songs you’llbe singing all the way home.
A true story about four young creatives, bound together by friendship and a dream
It’s an original musical inspired by the early life of J.R.R. Tolkien, telling the true story of four young creatives who come together with a dream to change the world through art.
The musical celebrates creativity, collaboration and the power of friendship. It shines a light on the journey of a man, whose work has inspired millions, and on the fellowship that helped shape his voice. Tolkien’s stories have influence generations of paimters, poets, authors, composers and performers, and this musical honours the human connection behind that legacy.
