Background

Susan Boyle said of the album: "I have been a fan of musicals since I was a wee girl. I love them and have enjoyed the drama and the range of emotions they inspire in you. I still remember the first time I saw Les Mis, my all time favourite. I fell in love with it and have seen it now countless times as each time you watch it you draw something different." She further said working with her "lifelong idol" Donny Osmond was "a dream come true".[4]
