Giant

Giant (the musical) had its New York stage premiere at the Public Theater last fall. The album features music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa; the production was directed by Michael Greif and choreographed by Alex Sanchez. The two-disc cast album includes a 44-page full-color booklet with the entire libretto. The Wall Street Journal raved: “Giant is the most important new musical to come along since The Light in the Piazza. It’s a show of immense and fully realized promise. LaChiusa is one of the most prodigiously gifted musical-theater songwriters since Stephen Sondheim.” Ghostlight Records, an imprint of Sh-K-Boom (sh-k-boom.com). Also available from Ghostlight Records is the original cast recording of Dogfight and the original Broadway cast recording of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. —Troy Carrington
