Losing My Mind: A Sondheim Disco Fever Dream is released physically by Broadway Records April 17, following its digital premiere March 20.
Conceived by Hinck and featuring arrangements by Scott Wasserman (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen), the album will include both mash-ups and stand-alone arrangements of more than 40 Sondheim songs in total over 12 tracks.
Playing in the album's disco orchestra are Nicole Patrick, Lydia Paulos, Ward Williams, Joshua Hunton, Kyle Stalsberg, Jay Julio, Josh Henderson, Grau, Hajime Yoshida, Jami Dauber, Mark Miller, and Paul Staroba.
Losing My Mind will not be the first time Sondheim has been covered in the world of disco. Ethel Merman's infamous 1979 disco album featured arrangements of Gypsy's "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "Some People," and "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" was recorded by disco band His Master's Fish (featuring Gordon Grody) the same year.
