Broadway Records will preserve the score of the new musical Cagney on an album to be released digitally on September 30 and in stores October 14. The album is produced by Michael Croiter and Matt Perri.
Featuring a book by Peter Colley (The Donnelly) and music and lyrics by Robert Creighton and Christopher McGovern (Fame), Cagney tells the story of legendary stage and screen star James Cagney, following the actor from his humble beginnings in New York City's Lower East Side through his rise as a vaudeville song-and-dance man to his superstardom in Hollywood.
Cagney received its New York premiere at The York Theatre Company, where it played a limited five-week sold out engagement, and currently runs at the Westside Theatre
Directed by Bill Castellino and with choreography by Joshua Bergasse, the show's six-member cast is led by Broadway veteran and original star Creighton (The Mystery of Edwin Drood) in the title role. He is joined by his original Off-Broadway cast members Jeremy Benton, Danette Holden, Bruce Sabath, Josh Walden, and Ellen Zolezzi.
The creative team includes James Morgan (set), Martha Bromelmeier (costumes), Michael Gilliam (lights), Janie Bullard (sound), and Mark Pirolo (projections).
