Now to this new album - The present company of ITW is a fine balance of voices and talents and with its ethnically mixed casting is a revival for our new era.

This collection of 10 ballads by the likes of Kern, Mercer, Kern & Mercer, Kern & Harbach, Kern & Fields, the law firm of Hammerstein, Hart, Rodgers & Romberg, and even Turman Capote is the collection of ballads you didn’t know you needed.

His fans will love it because they are fans and they love him, but the rest of the world, especially Judy Garland fans, will just be uninterested in this mostly uninteresting performance.

This album, more than any we have heard in a long time, sounds (and most importantly) feels like we’re sitting down in a club, hearing a live performer doing her cabaret set.

n KEEP A TENDER DISTANCE, Ms. Ward has taken a large artistic leap forward from her previous collection of Sondheim. A PERFECT LITTLE DEATH was recorded in the middle of the pandemic in Ward’s home studio and contained 13 songs utilizing mostly just her solo voice and a guitar. The new album feels like an entirely more collaborative affair.  There are a plethora of instruments and lots of backup vocals (even though many of the voices are Ward herself.) Her technique has grown sharper, both as a vocalist and an instrumentalist, and her emotional range is deeper and more on target.

Bobby really liked this one for more than just its gayness. It comes across as a fun, funny musical theatre hopeful and we do hope its hopes are realized, as we would totally buy that ticket.

The problem this music release has, which most likely reflects a problem the show (that we didn’t see) had, is - not enough singing from Mrs. Doubtfire herself.

HAND IN HAND is a sweet way for this musical partnership to round out what has been a whirlwind ride for their household.

This is a declaration of artistic intent and freedom breaking the bonds of the biz, the audience, and everyone to be the music-maker she was born to be.

Teenage angst and musical theater make for a very specific buying demographic.

After conquering the cabaret stage, it was time for Ann Kittredge to conquer the recording studio, and she did it in true Kittredge form.

When she went into the studio to record her award-winning cabaret show, Elizabeth Ward Land documented her own genius as an artists, along with Linda Ronstadt's.

After playing these original compositions in clubs around the city for years, Joe Iconis & Family have finally gone into the studio and recorded all the songs on their first ALBUM.

The legendarily spoken of last concert of Judy Garland has been digitally mixed, mastered, and restored and it is a respectful, loving look at the legend's last days.

Viral internet sensation Debbie Wileman's first album honors her favorite entertainer with love, respect, humor... and Debbie Wileman herself.

The live cast recording, recorded on their (new) opening night, captures the unique energy that has turned Six from quirky online phenom to Broadway hit.

Earlier this spring, Broadway Records released ASSASSINS (The 2022 Off-Broadway Cast Recording), giving fans of Stephen Sondheim our third English language commercially released recording of this brilliant score. Closed early because of Omicron, Broadway Records preserved this cast's wonderfully nuanced performances.

SPACE DOGS is the epic new musical, telling the mind-blowing true story of Laika and the Chief Designer — a stray dog and the top-secret Russian scientist, who sent her to space during the Cold War. Written and performed by Broadway’s Van Hughes and Nick Blaemire, this production is equal parts adventure and intrigue, while capturing the depths of human emotion and the immortal friendship between man and dog, as they journey together to the stars.

FLYING OVER SUNSET had the kind of pedigree that made it a must-see show. Yet, many of us missed it. Masterworks Broadway offers theatre lovers a window into the production with FLYING OVER SUNSET (Original Broadway Cast Recording). Despite its beauty, the album exposes why the show shuttered so quickly.

With some catchy tunes and a talented cast, the cast recording of Love in Hate Nation is a valiant effort, but it never quite rises to standout status.

As presented by Sony Masterworks Broadway on WITNESS UGANDA (AN AMERICAN MUSICAL), the musical surprised me with its catchy musical hooks and rhythms, gorgeous vocal performances, and the universality of its story despite its Biblical references.
