Broadway Records will release the studio cast recording of An American Victory: A New Musical April 22.
Featuring Ashley Brown, Adam Jacobs, John Owen-Jones, Ramin Karimloo, Hugh Panaro and Aaron Tveit, the album features 21 songs from the musical written by composer Louis R. Bucalo.
An American Victory, according to press notes, “is set in 1801, as America experiences brutal attacks on its ships by government sponsored pirates, whose extortion demands have grown to reach twenty percent of the entire government’s budget. Based on actual historical events, An American Victory tells the story of an audacious act of defiance against organized terror that forever changes the lives of all those caught in the swirling struggle, and the path of a nation.”
Composer-lyricist Bucalo added, “The situation and struggle of those who fought this battle in our country’s earliest days is as powerful and resonant now as it was to those who lived it. Once I came to know them, I wanted to tell their story.”
