| Concept Album
The Handsomest Man in America began life as an ambitious high school graduation project.
Released in April 2008, this concept recording provides a unique insight into the show's development. The thirteen songs showcased here are early versions of many of the numbers that still form the backbone of the score.
Additionally, the album features performances by a number of Reading, PA area actors, singers, and musicians who continued to contribute their talents to the evolving material in subsequent productions.
A limited number of copies of the CD and accompanying libretto are still available. Contact the composer at sam@handsomestman.com to order.
Listen to The Cost as performed on the concept album by Hillary Wallace.
