A Great Musical and Great Soundtrack
“Great love stories make great musicals,” said book writer Hunter Bell who starred and wrote the Tony Award-nominated [title of show]. “So much great musical theater is based on a love story.” Bell continued and said for Rogers: The Musical, “We honed in on that love story of Cap and Peggy.” This musical tells the entire life story of Captain Steve Rogers and his love story with Agent Peggy Carter. This includes how a young and small Steve Rogers becomes Captain America, how he ends up in modern times, comes together with the Avengers, and then a beautiful conclusion, all put to song. This love story made a wonderful musical at the Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure.
Christopher Lennertz, who arranged and conducted the music for Rogers: The Musical, said after the world premiere that “[It] was really important to all of us … to give everyone — both musical theater fans and superhero fans — something they would love about the music. And the fact that we get to span 70 years and do everything from ‘40s-style big band jazz to a singer/songwriter style pop tune and obviously the Nick Fury patter song meets ‘Uptown Funk’ — it’s the idea of giving everyone something that they can grab onto and really feel like it’s part of their story too.”
As fans saw this musical throughout the summer, it became very clear that there was something to love about the music. Whether it was Star-Spangled Man, I Want You, What You Missed, or Save the City, there is a lot of music to love. As the show came to a close at the end of the summer, it became increasingly common to see people asking for a cast album. Now, this has happened. At this point, the cast album is being released solely in digital format. It is unknown if it will be released on CD, cassette, or vinyl at a later date.
