Masterworks Broadway continues to make good on its promise to open the vault of its unparalleled musical theater catalog with a full slate of releases. Available June 14th is the 1955 Studio Cast of Carousel, previously unavailable in the CD era. The recording will be available as a download through all major digital service providers and as disc-on-demand, with the original cover art and liner notes, via Arkivmusic.com and Amazon.com.

The June 14 reissue of 1955 Studio Cast of Carousel was the first comprehensive recording of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s great score. Metropolitan Opera stars Patrice Munsel and Robert Merrill bring their sumptuous voices to the roles of Julie Jordan and Billy Bigelow plus a cast that includes the future “Mrs. Brady,” Florence Henderson, Tony-winner George S. Irving, Gloria Lane and Herbert Banke. Legendary Broadway maestro Lehman Engel conducts this recording, of which Richard Rodgers wrote, “It is my hope that you will enjoy the splendid artists who have made this album as much as I enjoy them.”

On June 28th the label will release digitally the Original Broadway Cast Recordings of The Girl in Pink Tights, Kean, Maggie Flynn and Runaways.

This is not the place to put PR.

You need to send it to the website and they decide if they will publish it or not.

That's kind of a poorly written press release too.
