‘Someone You’d Be Proud Of’ has been shortlisted for this year’s Stiles & Drewe Best New Song Prize.
The In-Between’s concept album is now available to download from iTunes. The album features performances by nine of the West End’s leading stars; Sabrina Aloueche, Julie Atherton, Daniel Boys, Cassandra Compton, Hadley Fraser, Alexia Khadime, Dianne Pilkington, Lauren Samuels & Liam Tamne.
Nineteen-year-old misfit and perpetual underachiever, Flick Wimple, has always lived in the shadow of her caring but neurotic elder sister, Alice. Since their parents died in a car crash, Alice has had to become more of a mother to Flick - a responsibility that traps them both and heightens their love-hate relationship. Resigned to the way things are, Flick determines to expect nothing exceptional from life and give little in return.
She is forced to re-evaluate, however, when one day she steps through the wrong doorway and finds herself trapped in the space between parallel worlds; the place known as the In-Between. There she is met by the mysterious, if slightly nerdy, Guide Calicus; a young man who has spent his entire life leading people between worlds. He offers Flick the chance to leave her problems behind and journey to another world and, as he leads her through the In-Between, the two begin to form a close bond, causing him to wonder what it would be like to live a life of his own.
But all is not right in the In-Between; other Guides are starting to go missing and tears are appearing in the walls... Ultimately, Flick must make a choice; to hold on to her past, her sister and the world she knows, or risk everything to try and save much more...

Clashing sisters Alice and Flick consider their love-hate relationship.
Flick extols the virtues of being average.
Calicus offers Flick the chance to travel to another world.
Alice looks back on her family's troubled past.
Unable to forget Flick, Calicus wonders what life is like outside of the In-Between and finds himself tempted to look through one of the exit doors into the worlds.
Alone, and forced to make a difficult choice, Flick wonders what her parents would think of the past decisions she has made.
With the odds stacked against them, whatever happens next, Flick and Calicus find strength in facing it together.
Laura grew up in the south east of England and studied music at the University of Surrey, graduating with a First Class BMus (Hons) degree.
She has written two musicals, Faerytale and The In-Between. The concept album for the latter featured performances by nine leading West End stars and was described by Broadway World as “sensational”. It has since received over a million views on YouTube.
Laura has also written the scores for two nationally-touring plays, The Haunting and The Perfect Murder, and been Music Advisor for a third, Dead Simple. As an arranger and orchestrator, she was Musical Associate for The Night of 1000 Voices, Kerry Ellis and Brian May’s Anthems: The Concert and The Wonderful World of Captain Beaky – all at the Royal Albert Hall.
Alongside music, Laura has always loved writing stories and her debut novel, Echoes, was named ‘Book of the Year’ by the International Rubery Book Awards, after also winning the YA & Children’s Category. It has topped the Amazon YA Thriller charts several times, as well as featuring in the Kindle Top 100.

The West End Voice
"I encourage any theatre fan to take the time and listen to this fabulous creation."
The Arts Review
"I only hope that this truly unique and original score makes it onto a West End stage soon."
BroadwayWorld.com
"Having listened to the album a few times over, the amount of detail in the musical numbers is quite extraordinary and more and more layers are revealed each time… a SENSATIONAL concept album."
Jonathan Baz Reviews
*****
"Based upon these 7 songs alone, the entire show should be outstanding. Buy this recording and support the work. The In-Between deserves a staging soon and has the potential to become a major West End hit."
LondonTheatre1.com
"a refreshingly original story… and some really compelling songs to bolster it and I, for one, would certainly like to see more of this show."
Pheatreland
"A story quite unlike anything on the West End stage at the moment."
The Public Reviews
*****
"If there was ever a new musical destined for a long and successful future, then this is it."
Theatremania.com
"Tisdall works in a musical theater-rock vernacular that aptly fits the characters and their angst-ridden relationship, and the lyrics have a decided pungency. It's little wonder that the likes of Julie Atherton and Daniel Boys are among the gifted singers who have taken part in this concept recording."
West End Frame
*****
"The In-Between would be one of those musicals that you leave singing all the songs on the train because after just one listen you remember them."
West End Wilma
"All 7 songs on this CD are wonderful and I can’t wait for this show to materialise into the west end very soon.
Zeitgeist
"In a world of jukebox musicals, it's enterprises like this that still give hope for the future of musical theatre. Check it out immediately!"
