VIDEO: Listen to the Cast of NBC's RISE Sing SPRING AWAKENING

Listen to the cast of NBC's RISE sing a Spring Awakening Montage, along with "I Believe" from Spring Awakening below! Each Friday, beginning, March 9, original cast recordings of the tracks featured in the following Tuesday's episode of "Rise" will be released at all DSPs and streaming services. The first musical offering highlights cast recordings included in the "Rise" series premiere, airing on Tuesday, March 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, immediately following the season finale of "This Is Us." The weekly musical releases will culminate with a full album, entitled "RISE SEASON 1: THE ALBUM," due Friday, May 11. The collection will highlight selected tracks released over the course of the season, alongside additional unreleased songs from the cast.

Among the first tracks being released today is an uplifting rendition of Macklemore's hit song "Glorious," performed by the "Rise" cast, featuring Auli'i Cravalho, THE VOICE of Moana, and Damon J. Gillespie. The inspirational recording was first heard in a "Rise" promo spot that aired during NBC's telecast of SUPER BOWL LII and was subsequently featured in the show's promotional campaign throughout the network's presentation of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games

From Jason Katims, executive producer and showrunner of "Friday Night Lights" and "Parenthood," and "Hamilton producer" Jeffrey Seller comes a heartening new drama about finding inspiration in UNEXPECTED places. When dedicated teacher Lou Mazzuchelli (Josh Radnor) sheds his own self-doubt, and takes over the lackluster theater department and its ambitious plans for a school production of "Spring Awakening," he galvanizes not only the faculty and students but also the entire working-class town.

The cast includes Josh Radnor, Rosie Perez, Auli'i Cravalho, Damon J. Gillespie, Marley Shelton, Rarmian Newton, Ted Sutherland, Amy Forsyth, Casey W. Johnson, Taylor Richardson, Joe Tippett, and Shirley Rumierk.

"Rise" is created by Jason Katims, who serves as showrunner and executive producer. Jeffrey Seller, Flody Suarez and Michelle Lee also executive produce. Mike Cahill directs and executive produces the pilot.

"Rise" is produced by Universal Television, True Jack Productions and Seller Suarez Productions.
