2014 round up
For the first time since we started PS Classics, one of our CDs was
spotlighted in The New York Times' Holiday Gift Guide. "Standing tall
among the standout performances on Broadway last season was Sutton
Foster's stirring turn as the title character in the revival of the
Jeanine Tesori and Brian Crawley musical, VIOLET," raved Charles
Isherwood. "Ms. Foster's performance, and the superb
gospel-and-country-inflected score, have been preserved on a lush two-disc
set, allowing the full scope of the musical to be preserved for the first
time."
We released four cast albums last year, and Playbill.com singled out all
of them at year's end. Steven Suskin chose FUN HOME, Violet and YANK! for
his Holiday Gift Guide, while a separate list of Playbill's Best Cast
Albums of 2014 honored Fun Home, LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR & GRILL and
Violet. Over at Talkin' Broadway, Rob Lester named Fun Home and Yank! among the year's top albums, hailing Fun Home as "brave and powerful,
heartbreaking and occasionally hilarious" and labeling Yank! "a winning
musical of the first rank."
We're very proud of the albums we released in 2014 and are looking forward
to announcing several exciting new releases in the weeks ahead -- starting with MISIA!
