Today is the last day to help crowd-fund the proposed cast recording of the new revival of Off-Broadway musical PAGEANT.

The official description of the Indigogo campaign for PAGEANT is as follows: "PAGEANT is a hit revival of the popular Off-Broadway musical billed as an 'all-male musical comedy beauty contest.' The original production premiered in 1991, and the revival is now playing its third extension at the Davenport Theater. PAGEANT is written by two-time Tony nominee Bill Russell (Side Show; The Last Smoker in America), Frank Kelly, and Albert Evans, with an original concept by Robert Longbottom. The revival is directed by Matt Lenz, with choreography by Shea Sullivan. The album will be produced by Jay Records, which has recorded many Broadway and Off-Broadway albums, including The Scottsboro Boys and many shows for Lincoln Center, the York Theatre, and more! Mark Hartman serves as music supervisor with music direction by Micah Young. The amazing cast for the current Off-Broadway production features Broadway veteran John Bolton (A Christmas Story; "Gossip Girl") as Frankie Cavalier, with Nick Cearley ("The Skivvies") as Miss Great Plains, Nic Cory (Signs of Life) as Miss Industrial Northeast, Alex Ringer (West Side Story; Priscilla) as Miss Texas, Marty Thomas (Wicked, Xanadu) as Miss Deep South, Seth Tucker (Our Kiki) as Miss West Coast, and Curtis Wiley (Motown) as Miss Bible Belt. To see that the show lives on for many years, we are recording an Original Cast Album. This will be the first-ever cast recording of PAGEANT in its twenty-three year history. This cast recording is an invaluable tool to help preserve the musical score, allowing fans of the show to remember it fondly and helping the next generation of musical theater audiences to discover PAGEANT for years to come. Not only that, but listeners will get to hear the show with this extraordinary cast and band!"

The Indiegogo for PAGEANT expires on October 10 at 11:59 PM PST.
