recent Amazon musical theatre releases

New and recent releases for musical theatre lovers:

THE PROM - Original Broadway Cast Recording

Masterworks Broadway is proud to release the Original Broadway Cast Recording of THE PROM, a new musical comedy (with issues!). The album features original music by Tony Award® Nominee Matthew Sklar (Elf, The Wedding Singer) and lyrics by four-time Tony Award® Nominee Chad Beguelin (Aladdin, Elf). We ve got trouble, folks, right here in Indiana and when Broadway's brassiest hear a student is unceremoniously sidelined from a small-town Indiana prom and the press is involved they are ready to kick-ball-change the world. A new musical comedy about the power of love (and a good 11 o clock number), THE PROM is about so much more than just a dance.



BRIGADOON - 2017 City Center Recording

Before My Fair Lady and Camelot there was Brigadoon. City Center brought back this classic musical out of the Highlands mist for its 70th anniversary in a star-studded concert production, now preserved on a new cast album. Patrick Wilson (two-time Tony Award nominee, Oklahoma! and The Full Monty) is Tommy Albright and Aasif Mandvi (The Daily Show) is his friend Jeff Douglas—both are jaded New Yorkers who stumble into an idyllic Scottish town that appears for only one day every century. Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara (The King and I) is Fiona, the woman who quickly steals Tommy’s heart. Stephanie J. Block (two-time Tony Award nominee, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Falsettos) is Meg Brockie, Fiona’s flirty dairymaid best friend who takes a liking to Jeff. Robert Fairchild (Tony Award nominee for An American in Paris) plays the rebellious Harry Beaton who is in love with Fiona’s younger sister, Jean (Sara Esty, An American in Paris). However, Jean is getting married to Charlie Dalrymple (Ross Lekites, Kinky Boots), which sends Harry into a rage—causing him to jeopardize the very existence of the mystical village of Brigadoon. This album features The Encores! Orchestra, led by Music Director Rob Berman. The CD package includes a 32-page booklet with lyrics, show photos, a synopsis, and a liner note.
