2LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

Here's the vinyl debut of of the most hotly-anticipated cast recordings of the season: Here We Are, the final musical to feature music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. (David Ives penned the book.) Bucking the recent trend of most cast recordings releasing digitally in advance of physical availability, both the CD and digital album arrived back in May. The album features David Hyde Pierce, Steven Pasquale, Denis O'Hare, Rachel Bay Jones, Francois Battiste, Tracie Bennett, Bobby Cannavale, Micaela Diamond, Amber Gray, Jin Ha, and Jeremy Shamos, plus Alex Gemignani conducting a 14-piece orchestra playing Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations.  As the final time we'll hear a new Sondheim score, this beautifully-produced album is a poignant preservation of a singular show.  The 2LP set is pressed on baby blue vinyl.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.​
