Broadway Records to Release World Premiere Recording of CLEOPATRA THE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE

Broadway Records announced today that the world premiere recording of CLEOPATRA The Musical Experience, will be released digitally and in stores on Friday, July 12, 2019. The album is currently available for pre-order at BroadwayRecords.com and on Amazon.

CLEOPATRA finds the legendary queen, and the most powerful woman the world had ever seen, celebrating Egypt's latest triumph over the Roman Republic with an extravagant celebration thrown in honor of her lover Marc Antony. But outside the city walls, the nefarious Roman general Octavian lurks, and enemies plot her dynasty's end just as the disco hits its crescendo. Set to an original high-octane pop and EDM score with music by Jeff Daye and lyrics by Laura Kleinbaum and Jeff Daye, this exhilarating immersive musical traces history's most mysterious ruler and mixes historical drama with an enveloping spectacle. CLEOPATRA played a critically acclaimed limited engagement, directed and choreographed by J.T. Horenstein, at Chelsea Music Hall in the fall of 2018.

The vocalists featured on the World Premiere Recording of CLEOPATRA are Nya (Cleopatra), Dusty Ray Bottoms (Mistress of Ceremonies), Christian Brailsford (Marc Antony), Sydney Parra (Iris), Corbin Payne (Octavian), Yuriko Miyake, Cody Mowrey, Alexia Sielo, Timothy Wilson and Audrey Rose Young.

CLEOPATRA at Chelsea Music Hall was produced by Nathaniel Hill, Chelsea Music Hall, Stark Kirby, Courtney Smith, Jennifer and Christine Schoppe, Hal BrodyProductions, Inc. and JT Horenstein.
