Among the nominees for the GRAMMY Award for Best Musical Theatre Album this year are Broadway's KINKY BOOTS, MATILDA: THE MUSICAL and MOTOWN THE MUSICAL.

BroadwayWorld has rounded up a sampling of each of the albums, featuring KINKY BOOTS' pop-inspired tunes by Cyndi Lauper, full of be-yourself spirit and catchy rhythms, MATILDA's imaginatively "revolting" tracks by Tim Minchin, and the soulful hits of MOTOWN, with works by stars such as Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson and the Jackson 5!

The 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards are set for tonight, "GRAMMY Sunday", January 26, at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and live on CBS.
