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.

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 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), 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 Kit & The Widow’s album 100 Not Out; If You Were Mine, a collection of new songs performed by stars of the London stage; Märchenhaft, a compilation of highlights from the musicals of the Hanauer Festspiele 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 Bill Kenwright’s star-studded production of Agatha Christie’s Murder On Air (UK tour) and 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 (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, a radio concert for Deutsche Welle. He has also given songwriting workshops for the Cambridge Arts Theatre and the Orpheus Centre.
