As was announced earlier today, the all-new Broadway cast recording of Side Show will be released on Broadway Records in early 2015. Boasting Side Show’s legendary and beloved score, which now includes new music, and featuring the acclaimed vocal performances of the recently-revealed Broadway cast of the upcoming, totally reimagined production, the new original Broadway cast recording of Side Show will be produced by six-time Grammy Award® winning producer Frank Filipetti and will be released in the theater, stores and on iTunes in early 2015. The CD is available now for pre-order at http://www.broadwayrecords.com/cds/side-show-2014
Side Show will begin previews performances at Broadway’s St. James Theatre on Tuesday, October 28 with an official Opening Night on Monday, November 17.

Featuring a “supercharged score” (Charles Isherwood, New York Times), Side Show includes new music by multiple Grammy Award® winner and Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, and Tony Award® nominee Henry Krieger (Dreamgirls), with book and lyrics by Tony Award® nominee Bill Russell and additional book material by Bill Condon, and choreography by Tony and Olivier Award® nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia).
Side Show is inspired by the remarkable true story of the Hilton twins, Daisy and Violet, who were legends in their time and the highest paid performers on the vaudeville circuit. Side Show is their heartwarming search for first love and acceptance amidst the spectacle of fame and scrutiny under the spotlight.

Kaiser, Clear Channel Spectacolor, Jim Kierstead, Marc David Levine, Catherine & Fred Adler, GloKen, Seaview Productions, Pretty Freaks, Weatherby & Fishman, Matthew Masten, and Jujamcyn Theaters in association with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and La Jolla Playhouse.
“This vivid new production of Side Show is less a revival than a full-scale reimagining of the show.”
“Side Show is emotionally stirring.”
(Charles Isherwood, New York Times)
* “A Searing, Soaring American Musical is Reborn!” “Dazzling!”
“Anyone not knocked out by this ravishing musical is hereby ordered to have their vital signs checked.”
(Peter Marks, The Washington Post)
“The flash and velocity of a Hollywood motion picture”
(Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times)
