Search - Original Broadway Cast :: Scandalous, The Musical

SCANDALOUS, which starred Broadway favorite and Tony nominee Carolee Carmello (Parade, Mamma Mia!) in one of the most celebrated performances of the 2012-13 theatre season, features book and lyrics by Kathie Lee Gifford and music by David Pomeranz and David Friedman.

The production, which played Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre in the Fall of 2012, also starred two-time Tony Award winner George Hearn (Sunset Blvd., La Cage aux Folles) as James Kennedy / Brother Bob, Candy Buckley (Cabaret, After the Fall) as Minnie Kennedy, Edward Watts (Finian's Rainbow) as Robert Semple / David Hutton, Roz Ryan (Chicago, Dreamgirls) as Emma Jo Schaeffer and Andrew Samonsky (South Pacific) as Kenneth Ormiston. SCANDALOUS is based on the life of Aimee Semple McPherson, the world's first media superstar -- a woman whose passion for saving souls equaled her passion for making sensational headlines and attracting overflow crowds of thousands throughout the world. Set in 1920's Los Angeles, holiness collides with Hollywood in this extraordinary tale of one remarkable woman's charismatic rise to fame amidst scandalous love affairs and growing controversy, inevitably ending in her much-publicized fall from grace. Recorded and mixed by Isaiah Abolin and edited by David Lai and Isaiah Abolin, the SCANDALOUS Original Cast Album features musical direction by Joel Fram, orchestrations by Bruce Coughlin, dance and incidental music arrangements by Sam Davis and additional vocal arrangements by Paul Raiman. Howard Joines is the music coordinator. Scandalous is produced for records by David Lai and Joel Fram with Executive Producers Kathie Lee Gifford and Jeffrey Finn.
