“Wonderland” machts möglich. Frank Wildhorn hat für sein jüngstes Musicalbaby und für viele weitere Projekte ein starkes Team gefunden: Sony Masterworks und Soul Bear Records.
Gemeinsam wird man in einem ersten Schritt versuchen, die Konzept-CD von “Wonderland” international zum Hit zu machen. Seit 30. März 2010 ist die Aufnahme in digitaler Form erhältlich.
Die 15 Tracks von “Wonderland” werden unter anderem von Janet Dacal, Jose Llana, Karen Mason, Darren Ritchie, Nikki Snelson, Tad Wilson, Julie Brooks und Ed Staudenmayer gesungen. Als Bonustrack ist die Demoversion des Songs “Go With the Flow”, gesungen von Rob Evan, zu hören.
Frank Wildhorn zu seiner Partnerschaft mit Sony:
I am so excited, honored, and grateful to begin what I hope will be a wonderful, longtime musical adventure with SONY MASTERWORKS. I hope we will be able to create and bring out exciting new works from the new shows and the artists that come from them, both in the U.S. and just as important, internationally.
Alex Miller, General Manager von Sony Masterworks:
As the home of world’s largest and greatest catalog of Broadway cast albums it brings me great pleasure to announce MASTERWORKS’ association with Frank Wildhorn. Frank’s talents as composer and producer are well known, respected, and admired. We all look forward to the new productions that he’ll create, discover and develop, joining the legacy of this venerable label.
In Österreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz, den so genannten GAS-Ländern, wird “Wonderland” im April exklusiv auf Hitsquad Records veröffentlicht, wo Frank Wildhorns »Music Without Borders« zu Hause ist. Bisherige Veröffentlichungen: »Dracula«, »Der Graf von Monte Christo«, «Rudolf« (CD & DVD).
