Paint Your Wagon Masterworks Broadway will release the New York City Center Encores! cast recording of Lerner & Loewe’s Paint Your Wagon starring Keith Carradine, Justin Guarini and Alexandra Socha, on May 27, 2016. Filled with gorgeous standards such as “They Call the Wind Maria,” “I Talk to the Trees,” and “Wand’rin’ Star,” Paint Your Wagon is Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s sweepingly ambitious and surprisingly realistic take on freedom, family, and racism in the Gold Rush-happy America of 1853. The outstanding March 2015 production by Encores! brought the almost-forgotten show back to New York’s mainstream stage for the first time since the original Broadway production closed in 1952. And because the original cast album – an early limited capacity monaural LP – had omitted so much of the music, the score was ripe for rediscovery and a brand new recording. Helping to capture the spirit of the original Broadway production were the full handwritten scores used in 1951 by Franz Allers (Loewe’s favorite musical director) and discovered accidentally by Rodgers & Hammerstein musicologist Bruce Pomahac at the bottom of a musty Warner Chappell trunk stored, curiously, at the R&H offices in New York. Album co-producer and Encores! Music Director Rob Berman leads the thirty member cast and thirty-one piece Encores! Orchestra, in the 2015 stereo cast album that celebrates the scope and riches of Lerner & Loewe’s exceptional score. Much of the original dance music orchestrated by Trude Rittmann, created in close collaboration with both Loewe and choreographer Agnes de Mille, appears on this recording for the first time. Also recorded for the first time on this album is the bonus track “What Do Other Folks Do?” which was dropped from the original production before the show reached New York and whose historical importance is clear: Lerner and Loewe would later recycle the concept for Camelot’s “What Do the Simple Folk Do?” From the propulsive opening number “I’m On My Way” through ruminative ballads like “I Talk to the Trees” and “Another Autumn” (the show’s most underappreciated gem), Loewe deploys all of the skills of a great Broadway composer with brio and confidence, and Lerner’s lyrics achieve an easy vernacular language while remaining beautifully crafted. There is a rowdy, rhythmic energy in numbers like “Whoop-Ti-Ay” and “There’s a Coach Comin’ In” that capture the exuberance of the pioneer spirit, and a gentle folksiness in “I Still See Elisa,” that is classic mid-period Broadway. In California in May 1853, Ben Rumson strikes gold and establishes a community in his own name. The show follows the progress of the town as hundreds of men come to dig for gold. There are two subplots: the first focuses on the romance between Ben’s daughter Jennifer and Julio, a miner forced to live outside the town because he is Mexican; and the second involves the arrival of a Mormon (Jacob) and his two wives (Sarah and Elizabeth), one of whom Ben “buys” in order to free from her abusive marriage. After eighteen months, the gold has run dry and the miners move on. But Jennifer and Julio stay to make a new life, counseled by Rumson who realizes that after violating nature and stealing the earth’s riches it’s time to settle down and farm the land rather than resume the search for gold. Thus the story depicts the birth, flourishing, death and rebirth of a town over a fixed period of time, an ambitious concept for a Broadway musical. Masterworks Broadway is the home to a majority of Lerner & Loewe’s recorded works including Brigadoon (Original Broadway Cast, 1957 Studio Cast and 1966 Television Cast), Paint Your Wagon (Original Broadway Cast), My Fair Lady (Original Broadway Cast, Original London Cast, Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and 1976 Broadway Cast), Camelot (Original Broadway Cast) and Gigi (Original Broadway Cast), and is proud to add the Encores! Cast Recording of Paint Your Wagon to this illustrious list. Tracklisting: 1. Overture 2. I'm on My Way 3. Rumson Town 4. What's Goin' on Here? 5. I Talk to the Trees 6. Lonely Men 7.

MASTERWORKS BROADWAY ANNOUCES SUMMER 2016 RELEASES Sid and Marty Krofft’s Les Poupees de Paris – 1964 World Fair Recording Available July 8 I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road – Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording Available August 8 Alice Through the Looking Glass – 1966 Television Soundtrack Recording Available September 9
Masterworks Broadway announces its Summer 2016 releases including three classic albums from the archives – Sid and Marty Krofft’s Les Poupees de Paris – 1964 World Fair Recording (July 8), I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road – Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording (August 8), and Alice Through the Looking Glass – 1966 Television Soundtrack Recording (September 9). Upon release, each title will be accompanied by new album pages and photos on MasterworksBroadway.com. Sid and Marty Krofft’s Les Poupees de Paris is the Grammy-nominated soundtrack from an elaborate puppet show performed on tour and at the 1964 World’s Fair. With the voices of Pearl Bailey, Milton Berle, Cyd Charisse, Annie Fargé, Gene Kelly, Liberace, Jayne Mansfield, Tony Martin, Phil Silvers, Loretta Young and Edie Adams, the score features music and lyrics by Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen. Known for bringing a psychedelic sensibility to children’s TV with shows like “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour,” “H.R. Pufnstuf” and “Land of the Lost,” the Krofft’s got their start with similar puppet shows performed in nightclubs. Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen, the multi award-winning Songwriter’s Hall of Fame duo, are known as the team behind some of Frank Sinatra’s most famous hits including “Come Fly with Me,” “Only the Lonely,” and “Come Dance with Me.” Sid and Marty Krofft’s Les Poupees de Paris will be officially released for the first time on CD in the U.S. July 8, with streaming and downloads available the same day. Originally produced by Joseph Papp for the New York Shakespeare Festival/Public Theater, I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking it on the Road, was a milestone in the integration of rock-and-roll and musical theater. It opened June 14, 1978 at the Public Theater and later moved to the Circle in the Square for a total of 1,165 performances, making it one of the most successful Off-Broadway musicals of all time. The book and lyrics are by Gretchen Cryer, who also starred as the lead character Heather Jones in the original production, with music by Nancy Ford. The show follows Jones as she puts together her new cabaret act featuring songs about her own empowerment (she’s just been through a bitter divorce), much to the dismay of her director who tries to convince her to go back to her old act. The show was nominated for Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Music and Outstanding Lyrics, and its cast album received a Grammy nomination. Recordings of Cryer and Ford’s Off-Broadway musicals Now Is the Time for All Good Men (1967) and The Last Sweet Days of Isaac (1970) are also available from Masterworks Broadway. I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road – Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording will be released on August 8, with streaming and downloads available the same day. In Alice Through The Looking Glass, Elsie Simmons and Moose Charlap set Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic to music for the NBC television special. First aired November 6, 1966, the star-studded production included Ricardo Montalban, Agnes Moorehead, Jack Palance, Jimmy Durante and the Smothers Brothers. The Television Soundtrack of Alice Through The Looking Glass will be officially released for the first time on CD in the U.S. September 9, with streaming and downloads available the same day.
