Nevermore - The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe is a unique operatic musical play about one of the world's most famous and fascinating writers. Described by The New York Times as "exquisitely stylish ... a gothic fantasia," and by The Huffington Post as "wonderfully creepy and mesmerizing," Nevermore played acclaimed engagements across Canada and in London before premiering Off-Broadway at New World Stages on January 25, 2015, where it played an eleven-week engagement.

The haunting Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of Nevermore was released by Broadway Records on June 16, 2015. The cast album was produced as a double-disc CD containing virtually the complete show, consisting of underscored verse and songs ranging from Weimar cabaret tunes to rock power ballads. "Like Jesus Christ Superstar or The Who's Tommy, the Nevermore cast album tells a complete theatrical story, in a rock opera format," said Nevermore lead producers M. Kilburg Reedy and Jason Grossman. "'The Raven' song is a mash-up of two poems by Poe - his most famous poem combined with the lesser-known 'Lenore' - creating a rock anthem that is a thrilling climactic moment in the show's second act."

According to Van Dean, the founder of Broadway Records, the Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of Nevermore has emerged as one of the label's best-selling cast recordings. "We chose to add Nevermore to our distinguished and growing catalog of original cast recordings because we were captivated by the show's steampunk aesthetic and exhilarating music. The new remixes are thrilling and will have a broad reach, hopefully attracting the attention of a whole new fan base for the show."

Nevermore was written, composed, and directed by Jonathan Christenson, with production design by Bretta Gerecke, choreography by Laura Krewski, sound design by Wade Staples, instrumental music track production by Matthew Skopyk, and voice, speech and text direction by Betty Moulton. The Nevermore Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording features the acclaimed performances of cast members Gaelan Beatty, Shannon Blanchet, Beth Graham, Ryan Parker, Garett Ross, Scott Shpeley, and Lindsie VanWinkle.

The Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of Nevermore was produced by seven-time Emmy Award winner and one-time Grammy nominee Michael Croiter (cast albums for Matilda, Big Fish, Heathers), Radio Mouse Entertainment and Caiola Productions, and co-produced by Matthew Skopyk. It was executive produced by M. Kilburg Reedy for Radio Mouse Entertainment and Van Dean for Broadway Records. The remixes were produced by Julian Marsh, a DJ and music producer since 1995, who has DJ-ed all over the world and produced music for legends such as Dolly Parton, Gloria Gaynor, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. The album and the EP are both distributed by Broadway Records.

Since its formation, Broadway Records has quickly become one of the preeminent record labels in its industry, specializing in cast albums for major Broadway shows (e.g. Side Show, The Visit and the Grammy nominated Broadway cast recording of Matilda The Musical) as well as studio and concert albums featuring distinguished Broadway performers.
