Disney's ON THE RECORD Begins Performances Tonight in Cleveland

Disney's ON THE RECORD begins its world premiere engagement tonight at Celeveland's Palace Theatre.

ON THE RECORD is the story of a recording session that changed the lives of a young unknown who is about to get her big break, a pop diva who is about to meet her match, and a matinee idol who is about to meet the "new kid" who could take his place. It is the show-stopping new musical from Disney set in a contemporary recording studio that sparkles with some of the most beloved songs ever written, from some of the most popular films ever made over the past 75 years.

The production stars Emily Skinner, Brian Sutherland, Ashley Brown, and Andrew Samonsky. Rounding out the cast will be Meredith Inglesby, Andy Karl, Tyler Maynard, Keewa Nurullah, Josh Franklin, Leigh Ann Larkin, Koh Mochizuki and Lyn Philistine.

Disney's ON THE RECORD is directed, choreographed and co-conceived by Tony® Award nominee Robert Longbottom, director/choreographer of Broadway's recent Flower Drum Song revival and Side Show. The music is adapted, supervised and arranged by David Chase, with orchestrations by Danny Troob. The production is designed by Tony® Award nominee Robert Brill (scenery), Tony® Award nominee Gregg Barnes (costumes), Tony® Award winner Natasha Katz (lighting) and ACME Sound Partners (sound design). Chad Beguelin is the scenarist.
