About the Album: Based on an astounding and outrageous true story, two-time Tony nominee Mary Testa stars in QUEEN OF THE MIST as Anna Edson Taylor, who, in 1901 at the age of 63, set out to be the first woman to shoot Niagara Falls in a barrel of her own design. Navigating both the treacherous Falls and a fickle public with a ravenous appetite for sensationalism, this unconventional heroine vies for her legacy in a world clamoring with swindling managers, assassins, revolutionaries, moralizing family, anarchists and activists. Convinced that there is greatness in her and determined not to live as ordinary, she sets out to battle her fear and tempt her fate.
QUEEN OF THE MIST features music and lyrics by five-time Tony nominee Michael John LaChiusa (The Wild Party, Marie Christine, Hello Again). The show, originally commissioned and produced by Transport Group, recently received seven Drama Desk nominations (including Outstanding Music, Outstanding Lyrics and Outstanding Orchestrations), three Outer Critics Circle nominations (including Outstanding New Score), two Drama League Award nominations, and two Lucille Lortel Award nominations.
QUEEN OF THE MIST’s cast recording features performances by original cast members D.C. Anderson, Stanley Bahorek, Theresa McCarthy, Julia Murney, Andrew Samonsky, Tally Sessions and Mary Testa. The album was produced by Joel Moss, Kurt Deutsch and Michael John LaChiusa. This release marks the fourth collaboration between Sh-K-Boom & Ghostlight Records and LaChiusa. Previous releases include the cast recordings of See What I Wanna See, Little Fish and Bernarda Alba.
