Listen: REUNIONS - A NEW MUSICAL Releases Original Cast Recording

Reunions, a new musical with book and lyrics by Jeffrey Scharf and music by Jimmy Calire, which had a run last year at New York City Center Stage (ii), has released an original cast recording of the musical, digitally, on Friday, June 12 on Joy Machine Records. The show was directed and choreographed by Gabriel Barre (Andrew Lippa’s Wild Party; Amazing Grace) and Davenport Theatrical Enterprises was Executive Producer.

The recording is produced by Sonny Paladino, who also did the musical arrangements for the show, and will be available on all streaming platforms.

Reunions is a musical adaptation of two famous one-act plays with a common theme: What happens when you rediscover the life you almost lived? The musical is divided into two acts with each act a different story.

“The Twelve Pound Look” is based on the play by J.M. Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan. The play takes place in Downton Abbey-era London.  Harry Sims is about to be knighted when the past catches up with him in this ripped-from-the headlines look at issues of social class, a woman's "place" and the high price of success. 

“A Sunny Morning” is based on the enchanting play by Spain’s prolific Quintero Brothers. The action takes place in a park in Madrid where the hope of love springs eternal, even among septuagenarians.

The cast of reunions featured Bryan Fenkart as Sir Harry, Joanna Glushak as Dona Laura, Chilina Kennedy as Kate, Courtney Reed as Lady Sims, Daniel Torres as Edward/Juanito, and Chip Zien as Don Gonzalo. The swings are Janet Aldrich, Keith Lee Grant and Pearl Rhein.
