The Broadway cast recording of the revival of Promises, Promises, starring Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth, will be released on June 22. The album, which was recorded on May 10, is being produced by Grammy winners David Caddick and David Lai for the Masterworks Broadway label, a division of Sony Masterworks. The production, directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford, plays at the Broadway Theatre.
Promises, Promises features a pop-infused score by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and a book by Neil Simon.
“The time is right for a revival of Promises, Promises and to add its cast recording to the rich catalogue of Masterworks Broadway,” said Alex Miller, general manager and senior vice president of Sony Masterworks. “Burt Bacharach and Hal David's music immediately evokes the 1960s era and is brought to contemporary life through the extraordinary talents of Kristin Chenoweth, Sean Hayes and the cast.”
In addition to Hayes and Chenoweth, Promises, Promises stars Tony Goldwyn, Katie Finneran and Dick Latessa leading a cast of 27.
The show garnered four Tony Award nominations, including Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical (Hayes), Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (Finneran), Best Orchestrations (Jonathan Tunick), and Best Choreography (Ashford).
