The musical, a Keen Company commission, follows a small-town math teacher coaching a misfit student for the 1996 State Thespian Convention. But his carefully compartmentalized life starts to fray thanks to a devout school secretary. See what critics had to say about the original musical here.
The album is being produced by Neal Avron, Andrea Grody, Gwon, and Michelle Noh. Recording is by Derik Lee, and Avron is mixing. Grody is music directing, leading the band as they play the musical's orchestrations by Michael Starobin.
