The Rainforest Shack Where did the journey of Forever and a Day begin? Was it at the inaugural reading in Sydney in 2010 or during the preceding recording of the concept album when an incredibly dedicated cast brought the characters alive in the studio?

Or, given this is a musical, maybe over the previous three years, when the twenty -four songs were created? Or in the little rainforest shack, where the script was written when the keyboard raced ahead, when the story begged to be told? Or in the little remote Canadian antique store where by sheer “coincidence” a hundred year old hand written poem fell out of a book into Veronika’s hands?
The Writing of 24 Songs Or did it start with the confessions made at the Titanic Survivors Meeting in Toronto many years after that maiden voyage? Since this is a story based on the true life of John Harper, the story ought to have begun with him – yet, did it? Maybe the journey goes back all the way more than 2000 years ago, when a simple, yet radically passionate man forever challenged the meaning of Love, Truth, Destiny. He gave it all. Beyond reason. An act of love. Incredible, extravagant love. Generation after generation has been wondering how to adequately share this amazing love ever since.
The Inaugural Reading in Sydney Clearly the journey of Forever and a Day is one of generational passion and legacy and we are but a link in a bigger story yet to unfold. Here are a few pictures of a faithful team who has contributed to this musical becoming a reality over the last years. It has been an amazing journey so far but we believe that the real adventure is still ahead and that the best is yet to come!
