Prominent players from the world of musical theatre have come together to record a unique collection of original musical theatre and cabaret songs, all composed by Danny Davies, with additional lyrics by playwright, director and actor Pete Gallagher, and lyricist Judy Wolfson in the new album Hey Producer!

With the blessing and full support of the UK’s best known theatre shop, Dress Circle, and the musical theatre record label, Making Records, composer and producer Danny Davies has recorded a unique album of original songs, some of which are drawn from his own musicals, others written specifically for the album and cabaret performances.

Below, BroadwayWorld is pleased to introduce the album's title track!  Stay tuned for more coming soon!

“I am honoured to be given the opportunity to work with such an incredible spectrum of talented actors and musicians, all of whom have kindly donated their talent to this project for free, in order that I may produce what would otherwise be an unthinkable project. I am also delighted to be able to include the track Shine On Down, recorded for Dress Circle’s Standing Ovation album, which I hope will continue to raise funds for Dress Circle records. I’m really grateful to Dress Circle and Making Records for their on-going support for my work,” syas Davies.

The album has already received endorsement from world-class actress, Dame Judi Dench, who commented, “I think Danny has produced something new and exciting. Have a listen and I'm sure you will agree."

The album is set for release on Monday 19th March 2012 and will be available from Dress Circle Records (www.dresscircle.com), Making Records (www.makingrecords.co.uk), iTunes, Amazon, and other well-reputed international on-line music stores.

Actors and writers who have donated their vocals for free include include Daniel Boys, Julie Atherton, Jon Robyns, Shona White, Peter Polycarpou, Alison Jiear, Chris Thatcher, John Barr, Rosie Ashe, Kirsty Hoiles, Patrick Smyth, Mark Goldthorpe, Ivan de Freitas, Laura Selwood, Rebecca Giacopazzi, Gemma O’Duffy, Rochelle Neil, Stephen Weller, Tom Parsons, Lucyelle Cliffe, Chantal Bridon, Philip Simon, David Berkovitch, Shimi Goodman, Will Barratt and Constantine Andrews.
