Hear Jessie Mueller, Kelli O'Hara, Sutton Foster and More Get Artsy on Pop! Goes the Easel

Have you ever dragged your kid through MoMA without a meltdown (for either of you)? Neither have we. Here's an innovative solution for art lovers and musical theater buffs alike: Museum Music's recent release Pop! Goes the Easel features catchy tunes inspired by the works displayed in the Museum of Modern Art sung by Grammy winners, Emmy winners...but most importantly (to us!) Tony winners.

The adorable book and CD features Broadway favorites like Sutton Foster, The King and I darling Kelli O'Hara, upcoming American Psycho star Alice Ripley and Waitress headliner Jessie Mueller serving up their colorful vocals on the album. Pop! Goes the Easel is a kid-centric masterpiece that adults will also enjoy. Hear snippets of our fave clips below!       

Jessie Mueller, "Pop! Goes the Easel"
Tony winner Jessie Mueller gives this play-on-words childhood favorite a rockin' stir—not unlike Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, which shook up the fine art world in 1962.         



Sutton Foster, "Starry Night, Starry Night"
Sutton Foster's twinkly vocals have nabbed her two Tony Awards, and Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night is just as mesmerizing as this track. Now, all we need is a trip to the French countryside, which van Gogh's painting depicts.



Alice Ripley, "Three Small Pups"
Forget about Paul Gauguin's fruit and Tahitian women. Puppies are where it's at, especially when Tony winner Alice Ripley is singing this playful number about Gauguin's Still Life with Three Puppies.



Kelli O'Hara, "Try a Hat On"
Songbird Kelli O'Hara lost a hat and found love in her breakout role as Clara in The Light in the Piazza. The Tony winner has worn many hats since then, so it's only appropriate that she would dazzle singing about Degas' At the Milliner's.    



Take in the full musical masterpiece with the CD. A celebratory release concert will take place at MoMA's Bartos Theater on Friday, April 29. Singing along will be encouraged for attendees of all ages, so start brushing up now!
