Can someone tell me who is singing in "Streetsinger"? I know Eden is the female, but is the male Cleavent Derricks or the man who played the Street Singer in Denver?

Also, who is singing "Heart Behind These Hands"? The info doesnt give a name. Thanks!

Dave Jennings was the streetsinger in DENVER. But he couldn't do the Broadway show. By the time they made the sampler CD, they had a streetsinger UNDERSTUDY, but not an actual streetsinger (they had already found Cleavant Derricks, but he was still rehersing the role). So for the sampler CD, Horace V Rogers, who is ths streetsinger understudy, sings instead of Cleavant or David.

In NYC, her streetsinger outfit was a long, plain white dress with orange tape around it. But that just wasn't doing it, it wasn't all that extravagant, so they designed a new one, which is what she wears today.
