The album is like a yearbook. It has its flaws, but is good overall. Musical Direction by Michael J. Moritz, Jr. keeps the music vibrant and invigorating. Working with the young voices and bringing out as much maturity as possible must have been a real challenge. The youthful performers find pitches, with only a few minor tuning issues. This disc features an eclectic mix of music and voices. My favorite performance is Matthew Gumley's rendition of "Someone To Fall Back On" from SOMEONE ELSE'S CLOTHES. I was moved and mesmerized by his clean and poignant performance. Other standouts include Isabela Moner on "Bring the Future Faster" and Ethan Haberfield's rendition of "Farmer Tan." The disc is a fun celebration and fabulous mix of Broadway's next generation of big named stars. The album pristinely captures their enlivened and whimsical performances.
