Synopsis

Album Description

* A new musical about a group of amateur musicians going on a professional gig is given wonderful life with great orchestrations by Michael Gibson and a talented cast of Broadway's veteran actors. * The York Theatre presentation boasts three of Broadway's female stars: Michelle Pawk, Karen Ziemba, and Jill Paice. * This original cast album is great for collectors but will have prolonged life as many regional productions are in the works.

CD Reviews

Different and Delightful!

Gertrude Margolick | Sarasota, FL | 08/13/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Douglas J. Cohen's 'The Gig' is clever, entertaining, ingenious and highly original. The score is wonderfully melodious and, several times, the brilliant lyrics made me laugh out loud!"

It Doesn't Get Any Better

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Superb entertainment! This is what musical theater is all about. The American Dental Association should adopt "Beautiful" as its theme song; I can't remember when I've heard lyrics as clever and witty."
