The original cast recording of the new Broadway musical Baby It’s You! will be released by Universal Music Group’s Verve label, on Tuesday, June 14. The disc is being produced by Richard Perry and associate produced by Rahn Coleman.

The musical, currently in previews at the Broadhurst Theatre with an opening on April 27, is inspired by the true story of Florence Greenberg, the woman who in the late 1950’s took the male-dominated music industry by storm.

It is conceived by Floyd Mutrux, directed by Mutrux and Sheldon Epps, and written by Mutrux and Colin Escott, with musical supervision and arrangements by Rahn Coleman, orchestrations by Don Sebesky and musical direction by Shelton Becton.

Tony Award winner Beth Leavel stars as Florence Greenberg, along with Erica Ash, Kelli Barrett, Kyra Da Costa, Erica Dorfler, Geno Henderson, Jahi A. Kearse, Allan Louis, Barry Pearl, Christina Sajous, Crystal Starr and Brandon Uranowitz.

The musical features doo-wop, pop and rock ‘n’ roll classic hits such as “Dedicated To The One I Love,” “Soldier Boy,” “Duke Of Earl,” “He’s So Fine,” “I Say A Little Prayer,” “It’s My Party,” “Louie Louie,” “Mama Said,” “Shout,” “Tonight’s The Night,” “I Met Him On A Sunday,” “Rockin’ Robin,” and “Twist and Shout.”
