The NeverEnding Story star releasing Jack & the Beanstalk album

The actress who played The Childlike Empress in beloved movie fairytale The Neverending Story has recorded a new album inspired by the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Former child star Tami Stronach and her Paper Canoe Company theatre troupe have also created a family show around the new “folk-rock opera”, which will premiere in New York on 4 February (17).
The album, titled Beanstalk Jack, will be released next month (Feb17). It follows the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk with “an Americana sound, and a girl meets boy twist”.
A press release reads: “Young Jack goes up the Beanstalk with his six-string to find his fortune. In the big world at the top of the Beanstalk, Jack steals the heart of a giant’s daughter, Harmony, a bright star just waiting for the right band to come along.”
Beanstalk Jack is the follow-up to Tami’s album Faerie Queen, which she released in the 1980s.
