Today, Atlantic Records has unveiled another brand new cast recording of one of the songs that will be featured in next week's episode of 'Rise,' NBC's new drama series from the producers of 'Hamilton,' 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Parenthood.' An exclusive rendition of 'Left Behind' by the 'Rise' cast, featuring Ted Sutherland - originally featured in the Tony Award-winning musical, 'Spring Awakening' - is now available at all DSPs and streaming services.

From Jason Katims, executive producer and showrunner of 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Parenthood,' and 'Hamilton producer' Jeffrey Seller comes a heartening new drama about finding inspiration in unexpected places. When dedicated teacher Lou Mazzuchelli (Josh Radnor) sheds his own self-doubt, and takes over the lackluster theater department and its ambitious plans for a school production of 'Spring Awakening,' he galvanizes not only the faculty and students but also the entire working-class town.
