PAGEANT - THE MUSICAL has taken to Indiegogo to raise $15,000 to record an Original Cast Album of the off-Broadway revival. This will be the first-ever cast recording of PAGEANT in its 23-year history. Watch their campaign video!

The album will be produced by Jay Records. Mark Hartman serves as music supervisor with music direction by Micah Young.

Among the perks for contributing are free downloads and copies of the album, autographed copies and Playbills, tickets to the show, an Associate Producer credit (for $5,000) on the album, dinner with the cast and a trip to the recording studio, and the ultimate prize (for $10,000) -- the opportunity to be crowned "Miss Glamouresse" onstage.

PAGEANT is a hit revival of the popular Off-Broadway musical billed as an "all-male musical comedy beauty contest." The original production premiered in 1991, and the revival is now playing its third extension at the Davenport Theater. PAGEANT is written by two-time Tony nominee Bill Russell (Side Show; The Last Smoker in America), Frank Kelly, and Albert Evans, with an original concept by Robert Longbottom. The revival is directed by Matt Lenz, with choreography by Shea Sullivan.

The cast for the current Off-Broadway production features Broadway veteran John Bolton (A Christmas Story; "Gossip Girl") as Frankie Cavalier, withNick Cearley ("The Skivvies") as Miss Great Plains, Nic Cory (Signs of Life) as Miss Industrial Northeast, Alex Ringer (West Side Story; Priscilla) as Miss Texas, Marty Thomas (Wicked, Xanadu) as Miss Deep South, Seth Tucker (Our Kiki) as Miss West Coast, and Curtis Wiley (Motown) as Miss Bible Belt.
