About the Album: Hailed by the Associated Press as 'a jewel of a musical with a fantastic cast,' and by The Wall Street Journal as 'the most important new musical to come to New York since The Light in the Piazza,' A MINISTER S WIFE furthers the relationship between PS Classics and acclaimed composer Joshua Schmidt, whose score to Adding Machine: The Musical remains one of the most critically lauded albums in the PS Classics library. Based on a 1898 version of George Bernard Shaw's Candida (Shaw revised the work in 1930), and conceived and directed by Michael Halberstam, A MINISTER S WIFE explores the fires burning beneath the surface of a seemingly ordinary marriage; the Revered James Morell and his wife, Candida, are happily married -- or at least they think -- until a romantic young poet, Marchbanks, enters their life. Featuring music by Schmidt, lyrics by Jan Levy Tranen and a book by Austin Pendleton, A MINISTER'S WIFE stars Tony Award-nominees Marc Kudisch and Bobby Steggert, plus Kate Fry, Liz Baltes and Drew Gehling. Of the recent Lincoln Center Theater production, critic Terry Teachout exclaimed 'I long to see it again -- and again!' Now customers can enjoyed repeated hearings of this rich, romantic and daring new score.
