Faith Prince puts her Royal Room show and the resulting album in context: "Amidst the
Early Stages of a terrible recession, we were opening my new cabaret show in Palm Beach, where the Madoff scandal was especially raw. It then dawned on me, this is how cabaret came to be... A place to escape, to be transported. To quote Kander and Ebb: '...so life is disappointing, forget it! In here, life is beautiful.'"
"It gives us great pleasure to present this wonderful new album by the brilliant
Faith Prince as a continuation of our mission of releasing new recordings by Broadway's biggest and brightest stars," said
Van Dean, co-founder of Broadway Records.
