Tom Kitt, a Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award winner, masterfully explores mental illness and family through the electrifying and emotionally charged score of Next to Normal, a Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that has gripped audiences for 15 years. Now, the Original London Cast Album captures the stellar performances from it's recent West End run. Grammy nominee Caissie Levy (Frozen on Broadway, Les Miserables, Ghost) delivers a phenomenal, Olivier-nominated performance, while Jack Wolfe (Shadow and Bone, The Witcher, The Magic Flute) earned an Olivier Award for his captivating portrayal. The music delves into a range of musical styles, from rock to poignant ballads, effectively conveying the characters' complex emotional states. Some of the notable and popular songs that resonate with audiences include "I Miss the Mountains," a powerful expression of a character's struggle with her treatment; "You Don't Know," a raw and intense rock number; and "I'm Alive," a song that explores themes of grief and connection.

Bad But Beautiful Verve By Request Series by Eartha Kitt - Kitt is in excellent form on this never-before-reissued 1962 album, swinging her way through Billy May arrangements on classics like "Love For Sale" and "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend." Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
