Broadway Boys' Holiday Album HARK! Released Today
By: BWW News Desk Nov. 25, 2014
PS Classics releases the latest album from The Broadway Boys, a seasonal collection entitled HARK! The album is available exclusively at iTunes and at the label's website today, November 25th, 2014, with a broader retail release to follow on December 9th. PS Classics released The Broadway Boys' debut album, Lullaby of Broadway, in the spring of 2010.
Hark! features performances not only by The Broadway Boys (Landon Beard, Danny Calvert, Mykal Kilgore, Tyler Maynard, Jesse Nager, Kyle Post, Zak Resnick and Gabe Violett) -- but also guest performances by Shoshana Bean and Shayna Steele. Sound clips may be heard at the label's website, www.psclassics.com.
Hark! is an album bursting with holiday spirit and joy. This collection of music covers everything from turn-of-the-century English hymnals to contemporary gospel tunes. Every number has been branded with The Broadway Boys' dynamic arrangements and performed by their incredible roster of tenors representing such hit Broadway shows as Wicked, Rent, Jersey Boys, Hair, Mary Poppins, and many more. On their debut album, Lullaby of Broadway, The Broadway Boys redefined the musical theater sound; now, with Hark!, they expand their vision to reinvent the holiday album, discovering fresh takes on such classics as "The Christmas Song," "The Little Drummer Boy," "The Lights (The Chanukah Song)," and "Do You Hear What I Hear?", as well as newer songs like "Today (Just Come Home)" and "Imagine Me." The result is an album perfect for any season, one that brings back the memories of love, joy and cheer that the holidays inspire.
In celebration of the release of Hark!, The Broadway Boys hosted an album release party last night, November 24, 2014,h at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in New York City.
