The Off-Broadway musical will release a cast recording September 15.

Nico Juber's Millennials Are Killing Musicals will digitally release an Off-Broadway cast album September 15, just in time to meet the eligibility cut-off for the Grammy Awards. The release comes from Yellow Sound Label and Brainstorm Records.

Grammy and Emmy winner Kristolyn Lloyd (1776, Dear Evan Hansen) leads the company as Brenda, a single and struggling millennial mom who wants to be as good at "adulting" as other moms on social media and the seemingly perfect mom of her daughter's classmate. Just when she's ready to take on the challenge, Brenda's younger sister and social media influencer Katrina shows up on her doorstep eight months pregnant.

Get a sneak preview of the upcoming release with a new music video featuring Lloyd singing "Who I Am" from the show above. Lloyd is backed by a band including Britton Matthews on drums, Andrea Yohe on piano, Benjamin Samuelson on guitar, and Thomas E. Carley on bass. Harmony Harris was on-site director.

The cast also included Broadway alums Max Crumm (Grease) as Nate/Atlas, Jakeim Hart (Almost Famous) as Dylan, Tiffany Engen (Legally Blonde) as Jake’s Mom, and Syndi Beaudoin as Pacifica alongside Diana Huey (Honor) as Katrina, Sheri Sanders (Urinetown) as Nana Marie, and Jae W.B. (Luna & The Star Bodies) as Luna.

Ciara Renée (Waitress, Frozen) helmed the developmental run, which ran at Church of the Blessed Sacrament's Theatre 71 May 9–28. Renée's creative team featured music supervisor and arranger Ted Arthur (Diana), vocal arranger Devyn Rush, orchestrator Macy Schmidt (Kimberly Akimbo), music director Sheela Ramesh (SIX), lighting designer Jamie Roderick (Midnight at the Never Get), scenic designer Lindsay Fuori (Made By God), sound designer Bill Toles (Rat Trap), projection designer Taylor Edelle Stuart (The Outsiders), costume designer Brynne Oster-Bainnson (Hit the Wall), choreographer Sarah Parker (Camelot), gender consultant Shira Helena Gitlin, and EDI consultant Tiffany Vega-Gibson.

Millennials Are Killing Musicals has been in development since 2018, and was an O’Neill NMTC Semifinalist in 2021 and 2022. The work previously received a New York City industry reading, a songs showcase through New York Theatre Barn's New Works Series, and sold-out concert presentations. Juber is a Drama League-songwriting contest and NAMT Challenge winner.

Out of the Box Theatrics served as producer with New York Theatre Barn as associate producer. Aaron Grant Theatrical was consulting general manager.
