On the Town New Broadway Cast Recording

Two CD set. 'A jubilant revival that takes your breath away' is how The New York Times hailed the new production of ON THE TOWN, the beloved musical by American icon Leonard Bernstein and Betty Comden & Adolph Green, which returned to Broadway on October 16th, 2014. The Wall Street Journal declared, 'Anyone who isn't thrilled by this production needs a heart transplant - [it's] everything a great show should be,' while The Hollywood Reporter called it 'an explosion of pure joy.' Bernstein and Comden & Green's 'rapturous, red-blooded score' (New York Daily News) - featuring some of the most heartfelt and memorable songs in the musical canon (including 'New York, New York,' 'Lonely Town,' 'Lucky to Be Me' and 'Some Other Time'), and brought to life by a 28-piece orchestra (the biggest on Broadway) - remains, 70 years after it's premiere, among the finest scores ever written for the stage. The 30-member cast, led by Tony Yazbeck, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Clyde Alves, Megan Fairchild, Elizabeth Stanley and Alysha Umphress, perform this big, brassy musical comedy under the direction of Tony Award-winner John Rando, with choreography by Emmy-winner Joshua Bergasse. ON THE TOWN has become a national musical treasure.
