New York Theatre Barn's record label, Theatre Barn Records, will record a concept EP of the original musical Winner, featuring Taylor Iman Jones (Six, Head Over Heels), Jade McLeod (Jagged Little Pill), and Alex Wyse (Good Night, Oscar, Spring Awakening). Released in time for Pride 2025, the album will be available wherever you stream music.

Written by Nico Juber (Millennials Are Killing Musicals) and Joe Barros (Yasuke: The Legend of the Black Samurai), Winner is a musical about a rigged election at a Southern California high school in 1999. At the center of this original coming out and coming-of-age story, the musical explores a female-identifying queer narrative and is one of the first to explore bisexuality.

The album also features Jessie MacBeth (Xena: Warrior Musical), Luis Villabon (A Chorus Line, The Old Globe's Destiny of Desire), Kristopher Stanley Ward (Tina, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Logan Leilani Blount, Federico Hradek, and Cay Ryan Murray.

The album is Executive Produced by Héctor Flores Jr., Kate Trammell, and Joe Barros for Theatre Barn Records, with the support of Co-Producers Carrie Murray, Catherine Gray and Debra Smalley, and Associate Producers Dunbar Hofmann Productions, Juber Productions, Julie Peterson Klein, and Take My Shot Productions.
