Jeanine Tesori also will be at the helm of the cast album as producer along with Shrek The Musical's sound designer Peter Hylenski as the album's co-producer. BroadwayWorld sent in our cameras as the 'green team' laid down the tracks!
DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions, Ltd hit show opened at the Broadway Theatre in New York City on December 14, 2008. In March, the highly anticipated Original Cast Recording will be released by Decca Broadway and available everywhere.
Highlights of the forthcoming disc include Brian d'Arcy James' rousing "Big, Bright Beautiful World;" "I Know It's Today," showcasing the charismatic Sutton Foster; Christopher Sieber leading the cast in the over-the-top "What's Up, Duloc?;" the hilarious "Don't Let Me Go," sung by Daniel Breaker; and "Freak Flag," featuring John Tartaglia and the entire company.
Shrek The Musical is an entirely new musical based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek!, as well as the Dreamworks Animation film Shrek, the first chapter of the Shrek movie series.
