The Light Princess (Original Cast Recording) is the commercial music release from the stage adaptation of the Scottish fairy tale by George MacDonald.
[1] The story centres around teenage princess Althea of Lagobel, who lost gravity when refusing to mourn over her mother’s death and is therefore bound to float above ground.
When war breaks out Althea, pushed by her father to come to ground and take responsibility, flees only to fall in love with the rivalling kingdoms prince.
The musical opened to positive reviews in September 2013, starring Rosalie Craig in the title role, subsequently singled out as a stand-out performance.
The choreography, lighting, set design, music (Amos) and other cast performances were also lauded and nominated for a range of awards.
