Broadway Records Announces MAD LIBS LIVE! Original Cast Recording  ImageBroadway Records today announced that Mad Libs Live! (Original Cast Recording) will be released digitally and in stores on Friday December 15, 2017. The album is currently available for pre-order at www.BroadwayRecords.com.

Virtuosa, Gogo, Geyser, and Merrily, four teenagers from Blankville Central High School with little in common, come together to form a singing group to try and win the title, "Teen Superstars!" Set during the live, televised competition, the teens realize that the songs they are about to sing have words missing. The audience is there to help them fill in the blanks, but will it be enough to help them win the competition? Inspired by the iconic "World's Greatest Word Game," Mad Libs Live! is for audiences 7 and up and features a fun-filled pop score that fully embraces the anything-can-happen, goofy spirit of Mad Libs.

This Original Off-Broadway cast recording includes Jeanfranco Cardentey (Hangar Theater: Spring Awakening), Lindsey Brett Carothers (Broadway / Tour: Bring It On: The Musical, Wicked), Max Joseph (Tour: Curious George), Melody Madarasz (NYC: Academia Nuts), Zachary Noah Piser (Broadway: Wicked) and Santina Umbach (Broadway: Mamma Mia!) and special guest Mike Woods (NYC FOX5's Resident Weatherman.)

Mad Libs Live! has book and lyrics by Robin Rothstein and music by Jeff Thomson. The cast recording is executive produced by Kevin Duda and produced by Grammy Award nominee Michael J. Moritz Jr. Visit madlibslive.com for more info, and follow @madlibslive on social media.
