Alexander S. Bermange’s music has most recently been heard in the West End in the highly acclaimed Plague Over England at the Duchess Theatre, and in venues all over the UK in Murder On Air, several star-studded productions of which have had successful runs in various regional theatres, and which has additionally enjoyed an extensive UK tour.

Since graduating from Oxford University, Alexander has also written the music and lyrics for the musicals Walking On The Sun (The O2, London, and three productions in Yorkshire), Odette (Bridewell Theatre, London), Aladdin (Pleasance Theatre, London), Shadowless (Bridewell Theatre, London), Close Encounters (Century City Playhouse, Los Angeles), Dead Heat (Bradford Playhouse) and Nessie (Musical Kongress, Hamburg); and the music for The Blue Light, Sleeping Beauty, King Drosselbart, The Seven Ravens, The Golden Goose, The Frog Prince and Beauty And The Beast - The Singing Springing Lark (all produced over successive summers at the Amphitheater Park Schloss Philippsruhe, Hanau, Germany, and most released on CD and/or DVD). Alexander is the winner of two Frank Wildhorn Awards for Musical Theatre for his musical Shadowless (Musical Festival Graz, Austria).

Alexander has written many comic songs for BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House programme, and his witty ditties have also been performed by the likes of Four Poofs And A Piano and Kit & The Widow (at London’s Coliseum, Wigmore Hall and Arts Theatre, the Edinburgh Festival, and on Friday Night Is Music Night on BBC Radio 2), featured in Miriam Margolyes’s A Few Of Our Favourite Things with Stephen Fry (Theatre Royal, Winchester), and included in his own comic musical entertainment Weird & Wonderful (Canal Café Theatre, London). Nineteen of Alexander’s comic songs have been released on a CD entitled Weird & Wonderful - A Collection Of Songs Celebrating Weirdos And Weirdness, which features an all-star line up of sixteen international musical theatre artists, and boasts sleeve notes by Tim Rice.

Twenty tracks from Alexander’s musicals have been released on the CD Act One, featuring 26 leading West End stars and produced by Mike Dixon. Performances of The Songs of Alexander S. Bermange have been staged with the New Frankfurt Philharmonic Orchestra; as a radio concert for Bayerischer Rundfunk in Munich, and with European musical theatre star Felix Martin at the Musical Kongress, Hamburg, the last of which led to the release of a CD maxi single of songs from Alexander’s shows, entitled Walking On The Sun - Felix Martin Sings Alexander S. Bermange. Further songs of Alexander’s have been released on Sony Music’s star-studded CD set Musical Emotions, which features two tracks by him; Kit & The Widow’s album 100 Not Out; German musical theatre and television star Kevin Koehler’s solo CD, Lost In Light, which includes two of Alexander’s songs; If You Were Mine, a collection of new songs performed by stars of the London stage; Märchenhaft, a compilation of highlights from musicals premiered at the Hanau Festival featuring four tracks by Alexander; and West End musical theatre artists Simon Green’s and Morgan Crowley’s respective solo CDs Take Me To The World and West End Wounds, Broadway Bruises.

Alexander’s other commissions include the songs for the Toyota corporate show Premiere (ICC, Birmingham), the theme song for Mission 007 (Capitol Theater, Düsseldorf), comic songs for West End musical theatre artist Jessica Martin’s Unlimited Engagement (Jermyn Street Theatre, London), and the English adaptation of the theme from the musical Blue Bear (for German publisher Whale Songs).  He has composed the music for the film N.R.O.H. (Tropfest Film Festival, Sydney) and for numerous plays at the Open Air Theatre, Regent’s Park, the King’s Head Theatre and the Jermyn Street Theatre, London. He has contributed additional lyrics to the musicals Snap! (Jermyn Street Theatre, London) and All The Divas Of Arabia (Edinburgh Festival), and original music to Stalin! (Pleasance Theatre, London). He has worked extensively as a musical director and accompanist both on his own musicals and on others including The Snowman (Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Edinburgh Festival Theatre), the stage premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s Peter Pan (King’s Head Theatre, London), Closer Than Ever (Bridewell Theatre, London), the London premiere of Charles Hart’s Love Songs (Bridewell Theatre, London), the CD Petula Clark - In Her Own Write, and Baroque To Broadway and Christmas on Broadway, two radio concerts for Deutsche Welle.
