The Light in the Piazza (2005 Original Broadway Cast)

The Light in the Piazza (2005 Original Broadway Cast)
The Light in the Piazza is arguably one of the most highly anticipated theatrical events of the decade for serious Broadway theatergoers. The Los Angeles Times has already declared its creator, Nonesuch artist Adam Guettel, "a composer for the new century," on the strength of his two Off-Broadway productions, the 1996 Obie-Award winning "folk musical" Floyd Collins and the 1998 song cycle, Myths and Hymns, TIME has described him as "a startlingly original songwriter." Few theatrical composers have been watched as closely as Guettel, and few musicals in the course of their development have generated so much substantial press or been praised so highly on the road as The Light in the Piazza. Both the New Yorker and The New York Times magazine devoted in-depth coverage to the evolution of Guettel’s sophisticated, deeply moving score. New Yorker critic John Lahr decided,"Guettel’s kind of talent cannot be denied. He shouldn’t change for Broadway; Broadway, if it is to survive as a creative theatrical force, should change for him."

West Side Story-The New Broadway Cast Recording

West Side Story-The New Broadway Cast Recording
From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Recently re-opening on Broadway to critical-acclaim, West Side Story is the masterwork of three theatrical luminaries: Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. This groundbreaking new production offers a bold new design that builds on the show's raw power and emotion and takes on new life through the inspired idea of a bilingual album and production. The Bernstein and Sondheim score considered to be one of Broadway's finest, features such classics as "Maria," "Tonight," "America," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere." The musical that changed the face of American Theatre over half a century ago continues to do so, remaining as brilliant and relevant as ever.

Xanadu on Broadway (Original Broadway Cast Recording 2007)

Xanadu on Broadway (Original Broadway Cast Recording 2007)
The first smash hit of the 2007-2008 Broadway season turned out to be one of the biggest surprises in Broadway history: XANADU, which roller-skated its way into the hearts of critics and audiences alike. A hilariously reinvented send-up of the 1980's Olivia Newton-John film flop, this irreverent musical adventure, about following your dreams when others say you shouldn't, spins along to the addictive original hit film score by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar. XANADU follows the beautiful Greek muse Kira as she visits Venice Beach, CA in 1980 to induce an uninspired artist, Sonny, to build the first roller disco (yes!). When she accidentally falls in love with him, much to her jealous sister muses' dismay, chaos and fun abound, skate wheels turn and disco balls twirl. The updated script by Douglas Carter Beane takes the plot and dialogue to knee-slapping extremes, while the legendary chart-topping tunes get a musical theatre makeover via a stellar company of performers. This original Broadway cast recording will keep XANADU in your head, and heart, forever.
