A digitally mastered, archival recording of When Everything Was Possible – A Concert (with comments) will be released this spring as a memorial tribute to Victoria Mallory. Recorded live at New York City Center on April 29, 2012, When Everything Was Possible was an evening of song and story featuring Kurt Peterson and Victoria Mallory, in what would be her final public stage performance.
Featuring new orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick, music direction by Michael Rafter, direction by Larry Moss, musical staging by Joshua Bergasse, historical projections by Telegraphic Media, and original songs by composer Jesse Wiener,When Everything Was Possible offered a musical walk down Broadway’s memory lane with collaborators and friends Mallory and Peterson. Original cast members of Follies, Dear World, A Little Night Music, and Lincoln Center’s West Side Story participated in the event.
An online fundraising campaign has been established through Fractured Atlas to assist the producers with the release of the album and accompanying booklet that will memorialize the legendary performer and share a message of history and hope with a whole new generation of young artists. A portion of proceeds from the album’s sale will go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Mallory died from pancreatic cancer on August 30, 2014.
