Broadway Records has become, in three years, one of the premiere record labels in its industry. From cast albums of major Broadway shows (i.e. Matilda) to the preservation of shorter run Broadway shows (i.e. Bonnie & Clyde), Broadway Records believes in delivering the best cast recordings to its customers. In addition to an emphasis on delivering first rate sound on its recordings, the label also believes strongly in the whole cast album experience, including packing cast album booklets with a plethora of photos from the show, lyrics and more. Broadway Records also strives to innovate with the critically acclaimed "Live at 54 BELOW" series featuring top Broadway stars including Patti LuPone, Aaron Tveit, Norbert Leo Butz, Sierra Boggess, Laura Benanti and many others. They are also strong supporters of the next generation of talent including albums from up-and-coming composers such as Drew Gasparini and Michael Mott.
