Writers Rosen and Rossmer, whose new musical adaptation of 50 First Dates is premiering in London September 14, said in a joint statement, "We don’t want to hype it up too much, but it might be the funniest, most tuneful score ever written for a musical…and the second funniest, most tuneful score ever written for a play. It makes Hamilton look like Carrie. It makes The Producers look like Moose Murders. It makes the revival of Sunset Boulevard look like the original Sunset Boulevard. If you listen to one concept album full of Broadway stars that sets beloved characters loose on a new adventure in New York City, listen to Ragtime… or this album, this album is also good.”

The Griswolds’ Broadway Vacation: Original Concept Album is produced by Sonny Paladino and Greg Anthony Rassen with Ken Davenport serving as executive producer and Mary Elizabeth Dina serving as associate executive producer.

The world premiere of The Griswolds' Broadway Vacation, based on the film franchise, played Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre in fall 2022.
