Tom Kitt: The moment we’ve all been waiting for… the first song is here! “Everybody’s Coming Together” from @almostfamousbwy is out now. https://almostfamous.lnk.to/Broadway
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
It looks like a small EP of a few songs has been released, not just No Friends.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
So the CD release will be in March, but will we get a digital release sooner? Maybe to coincide with the show's opening night??? Seems odd that they wouldn't release at least the digital version ASAP since it's clearly been recorded and completed (thus the various singles they have been releasing) to tap into the press around the show's opening on Broadway. Anybody have any info on this? Thanks
