The musical Radioactive tells the story of Marie Curie and the discovery of radium. Reynolds and Price were recently invited to give the keynote speech for an event hosted by WEST (Women in the Enterprise of Science and Technology) which examined the intersection between science and art.

Composer Will Reynolds said, "It was such an honor to talk about Marie Curie with a network of contemporary female scientists. As part of our presentation, we created a music video for one of Marie's major songs in our show. And we're now thrilled to share that song with the wider world."

"Releasing this song is bringing us one step closer to the world premiere production of Radioactive," Price added. "Marie and Pierre Curie collaborated for many years to cultivate pure radium and the process of building a new musical isn't so different. Along the way, there are always milestones to signal you're getting nearer to the finish line. Releasing this song is one of those moments."

Hannah Corneau said "I love singing Will and Eric's material and am so inspired by the way they've brought this brilliant and independent woman to life. Even though Marie Curie was one of the greatest minds in history, this song reveals her humanity, both her overwhelming commitment to science, but also the ache and longing inside her heart."

In addition to "Getting Closer," orchestrator Charlie Rosen is also working on Reynolds and Price's musical The Violet Hour, based on the play by Richard Greenberg. They hope to release that show's studio cast album, starring Tony Award-winner Santino Fontana, Jeremy Jordan, Solea Pfeiffer, Erika Henningsen, and Brandon Uranowitz, in the Fall of 2022.

Meanwhile, "Getting Closer" from Radioactive is available now.
