Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo sings. Hear the stage and screen star perform "Not While I'm Around" with co-star Annaleigh Ashford in the latest drop from the upcoming Broadway revival cast album of Sweeney Todd above.
This release follows earlier drops of "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," "My Friends," "By the Sea," "Johanna (Act II)," and "Epiphany." The tracks are also available on streaming networks. A date for the album's full release has not yet been set.
The revival continues its run at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, where it opened March 26. Read reviews for the production here.
The revival features Jonathan Tunick's full, 26-piece orchestration for the first time on Broadway since the 1979 original production, under the baton of three-time Tony winner Alex Lacamoire. The forthcoming album, to be released by Warner Music Group’s Arts Music and Reprise Records, is produced by Lacamoire and co-produced by director Thomas Kail, and can be pre-saved on Spotify here.
Matarazzo stars as Toby alongside Josh Groban's Sweeney and Ashford's Mrs. Lovett. The Broadway cast also includes Tony Award winner and Olivier Award nominee Ruthie Ann Miles (The King and I) as Beggar Woman, Maria Bilbao (On Your Feet!) as Johanna, Jamie Jackson (The Last Ship) as Judge Turpin, John Rapson (Les Misérables) as Beadle Bamford, and Nicholas Christopher (Hamilton) as Pirelli. Daniel Yearwood (Hamilton) currently stars as Anthony, but the upcoming album will feature original cast member Jordan Fisher (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen) in the role.
