New York, NY (November 18, 2022) – Today, producers Lia Vollack and Michael Cassel shared behind-the-scenes photos from this week’s making of the forthcoming release of Almost Famous – Original Broadway Cast Recording on Sony Masterworks Broadway. Available now for preorder on CD and 2-LP vinyl, the album is produced by Scott M. Riesett, Tom Kitt and Cameron Crowe, and features original music by Kitt with lyrics by Crowe and Kitt.
Almost Famous, the new musical with book and lyrics by Academy Award® and Grammy Award® winner Cameron Crowe, based on his iconic film, features music and lyrics by Tony, Grammy, Emmy and Pulitzer Prize Award® winner Tom Kitt, direction by Tony and Olivier Award® nominee Jeremy Herrin, and choreography by Sarah O’Gleby.

The year is 1973 and it’s all happening. Led Zeppelin is king, Richard Nixon is President, and idealistic 15-year-old William Miller is an aspiring music journalist. When Rolling Stone magazine hires him to go on the road with an up-and-coming band, William is thrust into the rock-and-roll circus, where his love of music, his longing for friendship, and his integrity as a writer collide. Almost Famous is a spirited tale of fandom, family, and the unforgettable characters you’ll meet along the way. Turn it up!
Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone said of the Broadway production, “I fell in love with rock and roll again. Almost Famous is a night of wit and warmth, and deep feeling. Cameron Crowe has brought fresh new life to his great coming-of-age classic.”
Tickets for Almost Famous on Broadway are currently on-sale via telecharge.com or calling 800 447 7400.
