Hollywood Records, the contemporary music label owned by Disney Music Group, will release the original Broadway cast album of the new a cappella musical In Transit.
The album will be released in digital and streaming formats April 28, followed by a June 9 in-store physical release.

In Transit takes you on a journey with people hoping to catch the express train to their dreams—including the stops they make along the way. Modern yet timeless, In Transit is a story about all of us, set to music that will stay with you long after the ride is over.”
