Broadway Records and producer Jeremy Handelman are proud to announce the long awaited release of the original Off-Broadway cast album of the award winning musical, BROOKLYN CRUSH (formerly F#%king Up Everything) by David Eric Davis and Sam Forman.
To kick-off the CD release, the Off-Broadway cast will reunite for a concert featuring all the songs from the show on Monday, May 16 at The Cutting Room (44 E 32nd St) at 8pm. Advance Sale tickets are $25 and can be purchased by visiting thecuttingroomnyc.com.
BROOKLYN CRUSH is an irreverent and energetic contemporary rock musical comedy with an old-fashioned boy-meets-girl love story. When these Brooklyn hipsters aren’t true to who they are, they ruin everything. Especially children’s puppeteer Christian Schwartzelberg (Max Crumm) when he meets singer-songwriter Juliana (Katherine Cozumel). This NY Times Critics’ Pick has been called “Profanely divine. Tunefully catchy and authentically indie rock-ish… an engaging and amusing rock musical” – NY Post; “For those seeking a fresh musical ripe with humor, ‘Everything’ delivers.” – Huffington Post.
“We are so excited to announce the release of our cast album on the prestigious Broadway Records label, along with its new title, Brooklyn Crush. The show evolved over the course of its three productions (NYMF, Washington, DC and Off-Broadway) and the new title is a reflection of that evolution. This is a fun and contemporary rock musical that will be very entertaining to audiences around the country and beyond.” – Brooklyn Crush producer Jeremy Handelman
“Brooklyn Crush has a fresh new score by David Eric Davis. Following its off-Broadway run, we are so happy to give Brooklyn Crush a home and be discovered by musical theatre fans everywhere.” – Broadway Records president Van Dean
“I am thrilled to be able to share these songs, including a new title song, with a wider audience. I couldn’t be happier with the amazing cast, band and record producing team.
