Marin Mazzie & Jason Danieley: Broadway & Beyond Album Sets Fall Release Date
Broadway Records has announced an October 18 digital and physical CD release date for the album Marin Mazzie & Jason Danieley: Broadway & Beyond—Live at Feinstein's/54 Below. The album is currently available for pre-order via Broadway Records and on Amazon.com. In May 2017, married stars Mazzie and Danieley presented a new concert at Feinstein's/54 Below called "Broadway and Beyond," featuring songs from both the Great White Way and the Great American Songbook. Taking listeners on a journey through the shows in which they had memorably appeared throughout their careers, such as Ragtime; Passion; The Full Monty; Curtains; The Visit; Kiss Me, Kate and more, the concerts would mark their final NYC appearances together, before Mazzie's death from ovarian cancer in September 2018. The concerts were recorded, ensuring that they were not lost to time, preserving the luminous pair at the peak of their vocal powers.
