Atherton does appear, lending her superlative interpretative skill to ‘It’s Been A Year’, and there’s no doubting that there’s a lot to like about Lift, both the show and this album. Some of the single tracks are genuinely excellent and with some refinement of the overarching ambition, it could yet become a better musical. With the success of
Thérèse Raquin now under his belt too, it is becoming increasingly clear that Adams is officially one to watch.
