About this listen

A full-cast audiobook musical told entirely through story and song.

Notorious jewel thief Jimmy Valentine (Hadley Fraser: "Phantom", "City of Angels") swears he's going straight this time. But Jimmy has baggage that won't fit in his suitcase of burglar's tools. Soon after his release from prison, he's back to his old habits.

Disillusioned New Orleans detective Jen Price (Kerry Ellis: "Wicked") wants to catch Jimmy Valentine—and feel like a hero again. But Jimmy isn't the villain she'd hoped he'd be. While hiding in a small town, Jimmy falls in love with Annabel Adams (Celinde Schoenmaker: "Guys and Dolls"). For the first time, Valentine dares to believe in a new life.

But is it too late?

Author Jeff Flaster's reinvention of O. Henry's classic short story combines world-class performances with a score that blends classical, jazz and classic rock into melodic storytelling that stays with listeners after the final note.

Cast album available on major music-streaming platforms.
