The producers of NEW YORK, NEW YORK –the new Broadway musical that was nominated for 9 Tony Awards, including “Best Musical”–have announced that the show’s Original Broadway Cast Recording will feature five bonus tracks when the album is released on Friday, June 23. It will include four original demo recordings of the show’s score, including one performed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and John Kander (“Can You Hear Me?”), and three performed by John Kander and Fred Ebb (“Along Comes Love,” “Wine and Peaches,” and “New York, New York”). In addition, a special instrumental version of the title song will also be included, so fans can perform their own versions of this legendary song about our great city. Pre-order or pre-save the album HERE.
The 2-discCD release is planned for July. Unlike many cast recordings, the album features 90 minutes of music from the show’s score, including orchestral interludes. Like the show, the album is a love letter to New York City, with music ranging from thrilling Afro-Cuban rhythms, and traditional Big Band, to classic Broadway showstoppers. Released through the Wine & Peaches label, the album is produced by Michael Croiter, Sam Davis, Lin-Manuel Miranda, co-produced by Sonia Friedman, Tom Kirdahy, Craig Balsam.
