Nice! I've been wondering for a while when we would get an update on this album.

Thanks for reminding me of this, Jacob!

When I saw this live over the summer, I said Shaina Taub’s score hit that sweet spot between Great Comet and Hadestown, but while listening to this album today, I have to say it leans slightly more towards the latter. A bit more singer-songwriter, so to speak, with some joyous communal moments thrown in as well.

I didn’t see Shaina as Jaques, but she sounds lovely, even if her diction could be a little better. Ato Blankson-Wood and Rebecca Naomi Jones remain top-notch.

I hope people hear this score and crack a big smile throughout, just as it did for me… if you’re having a tough day, consider a trip to the Forest of Arden.
 
Now can someone tell Jill Furman to bring Shaina’s Suffs to Broadway?

I adored this in the park and this recording more than holds up. I listened to it on repeat at work today and honestly can’t think of the last new cast album that I enjoyed enough to repeat.
