Out on Broadway, an evening of theatre songs sung from a gay perspective, was first produced to sell-out crowds in March 1996, and brought back in August 1996 for additional sold-out performances. Many of the songwriters represented in the show were gay or bisexual themselves, and hearing the songs in the context in which those writers must have imagined them was a revelation. The cast album features the original St. Louis cast and contains highlights from the show, including songs from Chicago, Dreamgirls, Phantom of the Opera, La Cage aux Folles, Falsettos, Into the Woods, The King and I, Merrily We Roll Along, and other musicals. A sequel, Out on Broadway 2000 was produced four years later, again to sold-out houses, but has not yet been recorded.

The original 1996 cast heard on the CD includes Chris Brenner, Tracy Collins, Quenten Schumacher, Keith Thompson, and Eddie Webb, with Scott Miller on the piano.

The Out on Broadway cast album is available in local music stores across the country, on the web through Amazon.com, or directly from Original Cast Records, 203-544-8288. Listen to audio samples from the CD on Amazon.com.
