Tracy Miller is the one singing "Mad Hatter" on the website.

And THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO Highlights CD is available for purchase online. I think I got mine from itunes in December. It's quite good!!

As Wildhorn Fanatic pointed out (randomly),...Count is available on iTUNES only or through Sound of Music in Germany. Brandi Burkhardt (& Tom Borchert) stars as Mercedes, with many other European stars! Brandi's songs (All This Time, When the World Was Mine, and I Will Be There) are all wonderful for the record! This is the team that will bring us Alice as well!


And I have been told that it's Brandi singing "Through the Looking Glass" (with possibly Michael Shawn Lewis - whose done Wildhorn work with Rudolf a few years back)., although I could be wrong as I'm not too familiar with his voice either. And I'm pretty sure it's her singing "Mad Hatter," but I'm no where near familiar enough with Tracy's voice to fully know.

Rob Evan *has been involved* with it, but he's involved with just about EVERY Wildhorn show (He did most the demos for Dracula, the musical as Harker; Rudolf in Rudolf - The Last Kiss; new stuff for Jekyll & HYDE; stuff for Bonnie & Clyde too), but he never seems to be cast/involved once they hit an actual production. Last I checked, he sang a song known as "The Cheshire Cat Song"..which doesn't look to be a part of it anymore (Hopefully not - it wasn't one of the better ones!).

Any idea which character is supposed to be singing "Through the Looking Glass" with Alice? I'm totally unfamiliar with the story (except a general knowledge of it!).

Thanks somethingwicked for the link btw!

I think I was told "Through the Looking Glass" is sung with Andy Senor Jr. who was also on the HAVANA demo. I could be wrong though...
