Producers Gary Grossman, Bronco Billy Partners, and Yellow Sound Label have announced the upcoming release of Bronco Billy – The Musical (Live Original London Cast Recording), captured during its acclaimed 2024 run at London’s Charing Cross Theatre. The album will be available beginning October 24, 2025, with a special Apple pre-order launching October 16, which includes instant access to the featured single “Ride With Us.”
“We are beyond thrilled to share the heart and spirit of Bronco Billy with audiences everywhere through this live cast recording,” said Gary Grossman on behalf of the producing team. “This album captures the humor, heart, and high energy that made our London run so special. Whether you’ve seen the show or are hearing it for the first time, we hope this recording brings the wild, wonderful world of Bronco Billy to life wherever you are.”

About the Musical
Based on the 1980 Warner Bros. film written by Dennis Hackin and starring and directed by Clint Eastwood, Bronco Billy – The Musical features a book by Hackin, music and lyrics by Chip Rosenbloom and John Torres, and additional lyrics by Michele Brourman, with orchestrations, arrangements, and musical supervision by David O.
The musical had its world premiere at Los Angeles’ Skylight Theatre in 2019, winning multiple Ovation Awards including Best Book/Original Musical and Best Music and Lyrics/Original Musical, before making its London debut in 2024 to critical acclaim. Plans are underway for a return London engagement and a future New York production.
Set in 1979, the show follows Bronco Billy McCoy, a sharpshooting dreamer struggling to keep his traveling Wild West show alive, and Antoinette Lily, a high-society heiress on the run from her conniving stepmother. When their worlds collide, chaos, comedy, and romance ensue in a feel-good musical about chasing dreams, finding family, and discovering freedom in the unlikeliest of places.
