Why see Jane Eyre?
Jane Eyre returns
First seen on Broadway in 2000 Charlotte Bronte's most famous heroine, Jane Eyre is returning to the stage in this 2018 revamp! Earning five Tony nominations, including Best Musical, when it first debuted at the turn of the millennium, Charlotte Bronte's famous novel comes to life on stage this fall.
For the past year CMT Artistic Director, Miles J. Sternfeld has been working hard in collaboration with Paul Gordon (Tony-nominated composer and lyricist) and John Caird (Tony-winning book writer) in revising the original musical. This new revised version will see the cast of ten play multiple roles throughout the show, in this more intimate musical.

JANE EYRE-A Remarkable Remount
As an 18+ year Eyre-head, it was with hopeful energy that I sat down at Cleveland
Musical Theatre's "revised premiere" of JANE EYRE. By its end, I was NOT disappointed.
Director Miles Sternfeld has an eye for theatrics and a sense of the human condition.
Between his storytelling and Martin Cespedes' choreography, Bronte's novel is adapted
in a way that keeps action moving. Helmed by Broadway vets Andrea Goss/Matt Bogart,
Jane/Rochester are portrayed in a painfully honest manner as we watch their first
unexpected spark, their star-crossed connection, and ultimately their miraculous
reunion. The ensemble carries this journey EXPERTLY, with stand-out performances
going to Alison England in versatile-dual roles of Mrs. Fairfax/Reed (are those really the
same women?), as well as Cody Gerszewski who's honest tenor-tones as St John are
surprisingly countered by his early comedic portrayals as John Reed/Tedo Ingram. See
this show while you can, as it will be gone before you know it. ... Read more
