Was there any promo done for this? I'm surprised I'm only hearing of this now, though I suppose anything on social media probably got overshadowed by the Black Lives Matter posts.

It was reasonably well promoted in West End circles since they're all London based actors (with the exception of Liz Callaway), and a couple of days ago Broadwayworld posted the clip of Karimloo singing Being Alive.

It's absolutely great, starting with the overture to "Gypsy" performed by talented young musicians who look enthralled to be part of this marvelous virtual ensemble. And you can't miss "You} Cab Drive a Person Crazy" as performed by only one singer.
