Charli Eglington is a powerhouse of musical composition, writing the book, the music and the lyrics of Saving Mozart one of a dozen musicals she’s been involved with, and she is in her mid twenties.  We have to see whether she is the prodigious talent that was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Izzy Monk and Jack Chambers) and his sister Nanneri (Aimee Atkinson). Many of us are familiar with Amadeus a tremendous hit with its emphasis on the rivalry between Mozart and Salieri, albeit not all was historically correct.

Although Charli Eglington’s modern pop songs are said to have a basis in Mozart’s music I could hear hardly any apart from a few notes from Eine Kleine Nachtmusic and similarily few from the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute. There is a scene between Mozart and Salieri (a wonderful Goth Jordan Luke Gage) where Mozart plays a very few notes on the piano of his original music and we long for more.
