The concept album of the new musical fairy tale The Tower Of Babel is currently available for digital download at Amazon.com with further availability to follow at Apple's iTunes Stores worldwide, Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, and GroupieTunes in January 2008. Several tracks feature Maxim model & Maxim Radio Sirius Host Diana Falzone, who will be performing her 14-song show entitled Love Story at The Metropolitan Room on Saturday, December 29th at 5pm. Love Story is a collection of songs that speak about falling in and out of love. It is a classic tale with some happy surprises along the way. The show will make you smile, laugh, cry, and smile again. Diana is currently featured in the December issue of Maxim Magazine at newsstands now.

The Tower Of Babel features a book and score by Jonathan David Sloate. The musical is described as such: "To save their kingdom of Shinar, Queen Bathsheba implores her daughter, the virtuous Princess Alana, to take a love potion and marry the playboy Prince Canaan of Babylon even though he may have murdered her father, but Prince Tiras, his jealous brother who lusts for power and recognition, may incite the ultimate apocalypse. The twin brothers vie not only for the princess they both desire but also the right to be King of Babylon. Longing for true love, Alana puts her over-zealous husband through a continually heightening trial of tests. Recklessly seeking to uncover the real intentions of his unrelenting advances, she mistakenly traps herself in a fight for her own life. To avenge her husband's murder, Bathsheba attempts to poison one of the twin princes, but King Nebuchadnezzar accidentally consumes the aging potion instead. In a race to save his own father's life, Tiras may provoke the wrath of God when he tries to build the Tower of Babylon high enough to reach the Gates of Heaven."
