Highlights from the original 1994 cast recording of 'Napoleon'. Canada's most expensive musical was staged at the Elgin Theatre Toronto and starred Jerome Pradon as Napoleon and Aline Mowat as Josephine. The show was later staged in London's West End at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 2000 and this release coincides with a new updated concert performance in April 2009 at the TIFT Theatre Barrie Ontario.br /From commoner to the heights of power to a man destroyed the story of NAPOLEON charts the journey of that &lsquoChild of the Revolution&rsquo who believed to fault in the power of human potential. Blindly pushing forward the boundaries of human greatness Napoleon loses sight of his own humanity in his willingness to sacrifice all he holds dear at the altar of his ambition.br /Recorded in the days leading up to the musical&rsquos premiere this album features an augmented orchestra of 35 players and the entire original cast of 32 from the first production of NAPOLEON which opened in Toronto in March 1994.br /br /Tracklisting:br /br /1.
