A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet, the first new musical to premiere in New York since the pandemic began, announced today that the Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of the new musical will be released by Time-Life Records in early 2022. With every ticket purchased through Telecharge.com between now and November 21, fans will be emailed a code for a free advance digital download of one of the songs from the upcoming album (purchaser must opt-in to be contacted via email.) The hit musical enters its final week of off-Broadway performances at the DR2 Theatre (103 East 15th Street), having recently extended through Sunday, November 21st.
The album, which will be recorded later this month, is available for pre-orders beginning December 1st at reginacomet.com, and will be released in early 2022, available wherever music is streamed or sold. "The album shall be a bop, and there shall be no skips," said creators Alex Wyse and Ben Fankhauser. A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet features book, music, and lyrics by Alex Wyse (Indoor Boys) and Ben Fankhauser (Newsies), with direction by Marshall Pailet (Baghdaddy, Triassic Parq) and stars Wyse, Fankhauser and Bryonha Marie Parham (Prince of Broadway).Two nobodies dream of writing one hit song for everybody, but their day job composing jingles for commercials isn't the big break they hoped. That is, until they're plucked from obscurity by a world-famous pop star named Regina Comet (if destiny had a child, it would be her) and she wants them to create an anthem for her supernova pipes... and her new perfume. They're so close to the big-time they can smell it, but following your passion doesn't always lead where you expect. Making a hit song can be a shit-show.
A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet is produced by Cody Lassen, joined by Kate Cannova, Fever, Sue Gilad & Larry Rogowsky, Chaz Naor, Jamie deRoy/Luigi Caiola, Samantha Squeri, David Lipowicz, Brad Blume, Jo-Ann Dean, Wayne H. Holland, III, Jamie Joeyen-Waldorf, Robert Laurita, Benny Lumpkins Jr., Philip Makara, and Raindrop Valley.
