When two forces of nature unite, magic happens… That is what is created when Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, two impressive women in their own rights, join together to create music history. As shown in the viral success of their original songs for Bridgerton the Musical, they use their prolific gifts in multiple music styles to create ear-worm, contagious melodies with a broad appeal. They broke the glass ceiling on the standard way that a Broadway show is brought to life by involving the audience every step of the way throughout the creation of the musical via social media and TikTok live. The music of Barlow and Bear is singable, hummable, trendy, and somehow familiar. They mix today’s sound with tributes to the great musicals, using elements from the pop, classical & jazz worlds that they came from. Creating a new space in a predominantly male industry, they share their joyful passion to bring musical theatre to the mainstream. Barlow & Bear break down musical stereotypes creating a fun fresh sound for the future.
