Swept Away Drops 1st Single Ahead of Broadway Cast Album Release

Broadway's Swept Away has released a single from its forthcoming album, set to digitally release via Joy Machine Records February 7, 2025, with a physical CD to follow. Listen to the cast sing "Ain't No Man" above. The track is also now available on all streaming platforms. Pre-order and pre-save the album here.

Featuring songs by folk-rock group The Avett Brothers and inspired by their 2004 album Mignonette, Swept Away opened its Broadway debut at the Longacre Theatre November 19 after beginning previews October 29. The musical, which features a book by John Logan and choreography by David Newmann, is directed by Michael Mayer.

The show had announced a closing date of December 15, only for a surge in ticket sales to prompt a surprise extension. The Broadway production is currently scheduled to play its final performance December 29.

Leading the cast are Tony winner John Gallagher Jr. (Spring Awakening) as Mate, Stark Sands (Kinky Boots) as Big Brother, Adrian Blake Enscoe (Dickinson) as Little Brother, and Wayne Duvall (1984) as Captain, all reprising their performances from the musical's earlier mountings at Berkeley Repertory and Arena Stage.

The ensemble includes Josh Breckenridge, Hunter Brown, Matt DeAngelis, Cameron Johnson, Brandon Kalm, Rico LeBron, Michael J. Mainwaring, Orville Mendoza, Chase Peacock, Tyrone L. Robinson, David Rowen, and John Sygar. Swings John Michael Finley and Robert Pendilla round out the company.

The stage creative team also includes Tony-winning set designer Rachel Hauck, Tony-winning costume designer Susan Hilferty, four-time Tony-winning lighting designer Kevin Adams, Tony-winning sound designer John Shivers, and casting directors Jim Carnahan, Jillian Cimini, and Alexandre Bleau.
