TV: Mark William Gets Ready for Album Debut and Return to Green Room 42  ImageYellow Sound Label has announced the release of Mark William: Come Croon With Me, the debut recording of Mark William. Featuring the songs in his critically acclaimed nightclub act, Come Croon With Me, it is now available for pre-order and will be released on CD, digital download, and all streaming platforms on November 22.

Putting his own unique, youthful spin on golden age crooner styling, Mark performs a collection of classic tunes from Broadway and The Great American Songbook. With his glossy approach, he glides from Jerry Herman to Peter Allen to Henry Mancini with charismatic ease and a spring in his step. Backed by a stellar five-piece band led by musical director Clint Edwards, Mark William: Come Croon With Me is directed by Preston and Richard Ridge.

The official release of the new recording will take place at Mark's scheduled performance of his all new show Mark William: Feeling Good at The Green Room 42 (570 10th Ave, New York) on Friday, November 22 at 7:00 PM. Tickets range from $20-$60 and can be purchased here.

Following a season full of sold-out performances at The Green Room 42, Mark William continues his love affair with the Great American Songbook in a brand-new show. Mark William: Feeling Good hypnotizes with a set of enduring classics filtered through Mark's youthful perspective and talent set. The show is distinctly new-age romantic, while still evocative of golden-age cinematic glamour.

Both critics and audiences alike are over the moon for Mark William. Theater Pizzazz said "He took my breath away with every note and nuance. Whatever that "it" is, he's got IT!" and Times Square Chronicles calls him "The newest star rising in the heavens of cabaret and musical theatre." 3-time Tony recipient Chita Rivera said of Mark, "WOW! What a voice!" And Tony-winning lyricist Lynn Ahrens even calls him "Baby Sinatra."

Mark was named one of the top ten cabaret acts of 2018 by both Theater Pizzazz and Times Square Chronicles and rang in 2019 headlining New Year's Eve at the famed McKittrick Hotel. He has appeared around the world in such shows as My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, Mame with Leslie Uggams, and Jerry's Girls with Susan Anton. Most recently, he was featured in the U.S. premiere of the newly revised Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein at The Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia.

Other upcoming engagements include a revival of the classic Sherman Brothers musical, Over Here! at The Triad on November 11, and a reprise performance of Mark William: Come Croon With Me for the annual gala of The Actors' Temple on November 18.
