The recorded musical, the album and the character
The planner identifies the 1997 recorded stage production starring Cliff Richard. It should be distinguished from the soundtrack album and from other screen adaptations of Wuthering Heights. Richard’s official catalogue lists the Heathcliff video separately from its music releases. The stage show features music by John Farrar and lyrics by Tim Rice, with Frank Dunlop credited as stage director. Choose the filmed performance if you want to see the cast and staging; an album listing provides the music without the full visual production.
