HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGE!

OUR RECORDINGS...
Sophie Howes, David Cronin, Michael T. Wright
Music director D. Jay Bradley, with singer Seth Sikes

For all of our shows, we make recordings--always a lot of fun. 

If you're thinking of doing a  production of one of our shows, we can supply demo recordings you may find helpful. 

And for George M. Cohan Tonight!, One Night with Fanny Brice, and The Johnny Mercer Jamboree, we have CD's out (on the Sh-K-Boom and Original Cast Records labels)--available directly from the record companies or from such well-known online distributors as CDBaby.com and Footlight.com. 


Sophie Howes, David Cronin, Michael T. Wright, Paul Iacono. (Paul recently made his major-film debut in "Fame.")
Seth Sikes, Keith Anderson
Kristy Cates

We're proud that some of the best singers around have recorded with us. 

The photo above shows Seth Sikes and Keith Anderson, who've graced such Off-Broadway musicals as "Fame" and "Fairy Tales."  (Paul Iacono, in the photo above that one, may be seen as "Neil" in the latest motion picture version of "Fame".)

Kristy Cates (at left) has played the lead  in "Wicked" on Broadway and on tour.
 
Barrett Foa (below) has enlivened such Broadway hits as "Avenue Q," "Mama Mia," and "Spelling Bee," and has a recurring role in the TV series "NCIS: Los Angleles."  You can also spot him in an LL Cool J rap video.

Barrett Foa
Lynelle Johnson, Clark Kinkade, Richard Danley
Jamie LaVerdiere
The warm soprano of Lynelle Johnson (above left) has graced productions ranging from "The Music Man" to "The Mikado."  Clark Kinkade is an alumnus of  the "Broadway Theatre Project"; his true voice and  bright presence  mark him as an artist to watch.  Jamie LaVerdiere (at left) has performed on Broadway in shows ranging from "The Pirate Queen" to "The Producers"--in the latter, he understudied Matthew Broderick! David Cronin (below left) has been  in the charming Encores/City Center revival of "The Apple Tree" starring Kristen Chenoweth, as well as assorted Tada Theatre Company shows.  The versatile John Tartaglia (with Chip Deffaa at a recording session, below right) has starred on Broadway and in Las Vegas in "Avenue Q"--besides playing Big Bird on  TV's "Sesame Steeet."

David Michael Roth (at right, in photo with Keith Anderson) did such a fine job co-starring in Winnie Holzman's "Birds of Paradise" at the Chip Deffaa Invitational Theatre Festival, we borrowed him for the "Johnny Mercer Jamboree" concept album. 

Stephen Bogardus (with Chip Deffaa at a recording session, in the photo at right)  has starred or co-starred in such Broadway shows as "Falsettos," "High Society," and "Love, Valour, Compasion" (reprising his role in the film version of  "Love, Valour, Compassion").

Eric Anthony (below), who's made some wonderful recordings for us, is an original cast-member of the Broadway  hit "Hairspray."

Santino Fontana
Santino Fontana (at left) has appeared in such musicals as "The Fantasticks" (off-Broadway) and "Sunday in the Park With George" (on Broadway).  Song-and-dance pro LeRoy Reams (with Chip Deffaa, below) has added warmth, life and color to countless Broadway hits, including "42nd Street,"  "Hello Dolly!" and "The Producers."  Trent Armand Kendall was lots of fun in "Bat Boy." We're delighted--and grateful--to have these wonderful performers record with us.

Violinist Jonathan Russell lends his lyrical playing to the "One Night with
Fanny Brice" cast album.   A musical prodigy, Russell has worked with everyone from jazz greats Wynton Marsalis and Bucky Pizzarelli to young rock stars Nat and Alex Wolff (of "Naked Brothers Band" fame).

When you license a production of any of our shows, ask about the availability of demo recordings.  They can be useful in helping your actors learn melodies, and get an idea about the tmpo and feel of each musical number.


We're currently in the process of recording a cast album for our show "The Seven Little Foys," due to be released later this year.  (For more details, see our page titled "Seven Foys Cast Album.")

Maxwell Beer


We're happy to have Max Beer, who stars in the new motion picture "Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life," recording our "Seven Little Foys" cast album.  We're recording the album at Dubway Studios, 22 floors above Broadway in New York City.  The studio has been used by HBO, Nickolodeon, and such recording artists as Patti Smith and They Might Be Giants.   



Zack Riopelle sings tenderly and expressively "You Remind Me Of My Mother," as we record the "Seven Little Foys" cast album at Dubway Studios in New York.  (For more about the album, see the page on this web site that's titled "Seven Foys Cast Album.")
