SONY MASTERWORKS announces the launch of MASTERWORKSBROADWAY.COM – a comprehensive Broadway site “Where Show Tunes Take Center Stage.” A celebration and testament to America’s unique art form, MASTERWORKSBROADWAY.COM documents the history of the cast album from Finian's Rainbow (1947) to last year’s critically acclaimed Grammy® and Tony® Award-winning revival of West Side Story. The site goes live on April 1. To celebrate the launch, MASTERWORKSBROADWAY.COM will give away highly coveted prizes throughout the month in the “You Gotta Get A Gimmick” sweepstakes.
MASTERWORKSBROADWAY.COM preserves the history of music from the “Great White Way” providing a comprehensive experience for the Broadway community and its fans. The site will include a catalog of more than 400 Broadway cast recordings – together receiving over 265 Tony® Awards, 450 Tony® nominations and 27 Grammy® Awards. Elements of the site will include hundreds of never-before-seen recording session photos, a weekly blog by noted theater journalist/author Peter Filichia (Newark Star Ledger, Theatremania.com), an enormous streaming library of cast recordings, as well as podcasts with Broadway notables including Stephen Sondheim, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters and others.
On the launch date of April 1st, MASTERWORKSBROADWAY.COM will begin the “You Gotta Get A Gimmick” sweepstakes during which time the site will give away a daily prize. Some of the extraordinary prizes include: A trip for two to NYC to see a Broadway show, the entire Masterworks Broadway catalog (over 275 CDs!), signed copies of Kristin Chenoweth’s book “A Little Bit Wicked” and her latest CD “A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas,” and a rare framed pigment print of Gwen Verdon from the Sony Music archives/ICON Collectibles.
