Broadway Records has announced that a cast album for off-Broadway's Who's Your Baghdaddy, or How I Started the Iraq War will be released digitally and in stores on September 28. The album is currently available for pre-order at www.BroadwayRecords.com.

Inspired by a true story, Who's Your Baghdaddy, or How I Started the Iraq War is a new musical described as "dark, boisterous and irreverent" that follows a handful of mid-level spies in a support group for people who started the Iraq War, whose vanity and office politics contributed to the worst intelligence blunder in modern history.

Featuring SpongeBob SquarePants Tony Award nominee Ethan Slater, Brennan Caldwell, Jason Collins, Brandon Espinoza, Joe Joseph, Claire Neumann, and Larisa Oleynik, Who's Your Baghdaddy is written by Marshall Pailet and A.D. Penedo, with musical direction by Rona Siddiqui and orchestrations by Charlie Rosen. The cast recording is produced by Matthias Winter.

Who's Your Baghdaddy, or How I Started the Iraq War most recently ran at St. Luke's Theatre in 2017.
