John Kander and Fred Ebb's THE VISIT starring Chita Rivera and Roger Rees recently wrapped up its Broadway run and the brand new original Broadway cast recording is now the top-selling cast album in the country according to the new Billboard cast recordings chart, available to view here.

THE VISIT bests original cast recordings of WICKED, THE BOOK OF MORMON, BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL and more in its chart domination this week.

Of note, THE VISIT original Broadway cast recording was released worldwide on July 10.

THE VISIT closed on Broadway on June 14 after having played 61 regular performances and 32 previews.

The official description of THE VISIT cast recording is as follows: "The cast is led by Tony Award® winners Chita Rivera as Claire Zachanassian and Roger Rees as Anton Schell. The Broadway cast also features Jason Danieley as Frederich Kuhn, David Garrison as Peter Dummermut, Mary Beth Peil as Matilde Schell, George Abud as Karl Schell, Matthew Deming as Louis Perch, Diana Dimarzio as Annie Dummermut, Tony® Award-nominee Rick Holmes as Father Josef, Tom Nelis as Rudi, Chris Newcomer as Jacob Chicken, Aaron Ramey as Otto Hahnke, John Riddle as Young Anton, Elena Shaddow as Ottilie Schell, Timothy Shew as Hans Nusselin and Michelle Veintimilla as Young Claire.

In her juiciest role yet, Chita Rivera is Claire Zachanassian, the world's wealthiest woman, who returns home to Anton Schell (Roger Rees) who captured her heart then shattered her dreams. What she does next shocks the town and makes for the most thrilling and intriguing musical in years. From the team that brought you CABARET, CHICAGO and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN this tale of romance, seduction and betrayal proves that revenge is the best revenge.

Based on the satirical play by Friedrich Dürrenmatt as adapted by Maurice Valency, The Visit features music and lyrics by the John Kander & Fred Ebb, book by four-time Tony Award®-winning playwright Terrence McNally, choreography by Tony Award®-nominee Graciela Daniele, scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Ann Hould Ward, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, sound design by Dan Moses Schreier and orchestrations by Larry Hochman with music direction and arrangements by David Loud. THE VISIT is helmed by Tony Award®-winning director John Doyle."
