Studio Cast Recording
The Importance, Sean O'Mahony's musical version of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, premiered in London in 1984; following its run there, it was revised for a 1986 Petersborough production as Borne in a Handbag. Members of the Petersborough production reconvened in the studio for a recording of O'Mahony's score but it remained unreleased; finally, in 2006, the recording featuring those cast members and other West End-caliber vocalists was completed. Now, Stage Door Records premieres on CD the recording of The Importance, starring Nigel Williams, Jill Martin and Susan Jane Tanner.
