When the project was first announced in 2021, the initial press release quoted Welch, best known as lead singer for Florence + the Machine, as saying, "This book has haunted me for a large part of my life. It contains some of my favourite lines in literature. Musicals were my first love, and I feel a deep connection to Fitzgerald’s broken romanticism."[1]
