The Glory Days Record Release Reunion Concert in the MAX at Signature Theatre (Arlington, VA) on Monday, November 30th @ 8pm. This will be a special evening reuniting the original cast and creators of Glory Days as they recount their journey from Signature to Broadway, tell stories about their experience, and sing songs that were cut from the show as well as tracks that are available on their original cast album, available beginning November 24th on Sh-K-Boom Records.

There will be a CD signing after the performance. Featuring: Nick Blaemire, James Gardiner, Steven Booth, Andrew Call, Jesse JP Johnson, and Adam Halpin. Glory Days is an original musical with music and lyrics by Nick Blaemire, and a book by James Gardiner, about four best friends who reunite a year after high school graduation, only to find how much they have grown apart. As they attempt to understand each other's differences, they soon realize that the Glory Days of high school are over, and that another story has begun. The musical premiered at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia in 2008, before moving to Broadway later that year, opening at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre. It has since received a full production in Japan and received interest from regional theaters and schools around the country.

Composer/Lyricist Nick Blaemire and Librettist James Gardiner, who received attention for seeing their show quickly whisked to Broadway when they were both just 23, have a sense of humor about their open and shut Broadway experience: "We're pretty sure you didn't see it, but we're so happy that now you can hear it," Blaemire says of the cast album release.
