50 SHADES! THE MUSICAL first spurt onto the solar plexus of the music theater scene on August 22, 2012 during the 2012 Edinburg Fringe Festival. Edging past SPANK! THE FIFTY SHADES PARODY by premiering about two months before its competition, 'The Original Parody' has received glowing reviews in Edinburg, Chicago, New York City, and the other markets the show has played. With a sturdy and somewhat ravenous fan base, recording a cast album was definitely a logical progression. As this musical will soon be playing in my neck of the woods, I was excited to get a chance to experience the music from the show. As I listened to the songs, I found them entertaining but not highly memorable.

The raucous and raunchy cast recording for the equally lewd and crude parody musical 50 SHADES! THE MUSICAL - based on the best-selling 50 SHADES OF GREY novel series by E.L. James - is now available for digital download, with a CD release set for next month.

"50 SHADES! THE MUSICAL," the critically-hailed parody of the phenomenally popular books, will release an Original Cast Album Tuesday, Aug. 13. The album is being released by Theater Advisor Records, a division of Theater Advisor LLC. The album is now available through pre-sale on iTunes and can be added to a wishlist on Amazon.com.

50 SHADES! THE MUSICAL, currently enjoying great success on its national tour, will be recording an Original Cast Album in New York June 3 and 4. The critically hailed parody of the phenomenally popular books '50 SHADES! THE MUSICAL' features a sassy original score with musical influences ranging from traditional musical theater to pop to R&B and gospel.

"50 SHADES! THE MUSICAL," the original, critically-hailed parody of the phenomenally popular books, is taking its whips, feather dusters and outrageous laughs on a tour of North America. The show will play the House of Blues Chicago, 329 N Dearborn St, Thursday, May 2 at 7 p.m.
