BroadwayWorld takes you inside the recording studio with the full gang below!
This rare revival stars Kate Baldwin (Tony Award nominee, Finian's Rainbow) and Conor Ryan (most recently seen in The Fortress of Solitude at The Public Theater and the Broadway production of Cinderella). Jonathan Silverstein, Keen Artistic Director, directs with musical staging by Christine O'Grady and music direction by Lily Ling. John & Jen is an early work from celebrated composer Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party, I Am Harvey Milk) and lyricist Tom Greenwald, which premiered Off-Broadway in 1995.
Since its formation, Broadway Records has quickly become one of the preeminent record labels in its industry. From offering cast albums for major Broadway shows (i.e. the recent revival of Side Show and the Grammy nominated Broadway cast recording of Matilda The Musical) to preserving shorter run Broadway shows (i.e. Bonnie & Clyde), Broadway Records believes in delivering the best cast recordings to its customers. BroadwayWorld.com recently nominated 19 of Broadway Records' albums for their inaugural 2014 Album Awards. In addition to its emphasis on delivering first rate sound on all recordings, Broadway Records believes strongly in providing a complete cast album experience by packing cast album booklets with a plethora of photos from the show, lyrics and more.
