And it was then that I learned that the role of Jamie Fraser was sung by Allan Scott Douglas, an actor/singer and native Scot.įrom his bio on Outlander the Musical’s website: (Listen to Outlander the Musical song samples or purchase the CD here – it’s also available on iTunes) ~ Diana Gabaldon, 2010/ And so a musical was born: Mike and his friends, composer Kevin Walsh, did a couple of demo songs for me, which I found entirely charming, and they went ahead with the project. ![]() Mike’s a lyricist and playwright, and having fallen in love with OUTLANDER, asked me whether I might approve his writing a song-cycle of the story: a series of 14-15 songs, telling the high points of the story, which might later form the libretto for a stage production. When I was in Edinburgh in 2009, I made the acquaintance of a lovely man named Mike Gibb. It’s true-there was another ‘official’ Jamie Fraser, years before Sam: By now we have all accepted Sam Heughan as our beloved JAMMF, but did you ken that he wasna the first? ![]() Allan Scott Douglas & Diana Gabaldon at the Lord Provost of Aberdeen’s Civic Reception to conclude Tartan Day, 2011. ![]()
