NEW YORK (AP) – The Tony Award-nominated songwriting team behind the musical “James and the Giant Peach” have good news for their fans – and even better news.
The good news is that they’re releasing the cast album of the show with a powerhouse cast including Broadway stars Christian Borle, Brian d’Arcy James and Megan Hilty. The better news? It’s free.
Starting Tuesday, the cast album recorded with a 26-piece orchestra will be available for download at the show’s website.
Songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek and story writer Timothy Allen McDonald hope the giveaway will encourage theaters across the country to do the show or, at the very least, make your long car rides with the kids more fun.
“We really want to share it,” Pasek said. “We really do hope that people do productions of it, and that is more meaningful to us than making money on it.”
