Here's Why The Bridges of Madison County Is The Only Cast Recording You Need to Own This Season
It’s like Christmas morning for musical theatre fans: The beautiful The Bridges of Madison County cast recording is now available to own on Sh-k-Boom records! Jason Robert Brown’s brilliant score is lush and romantic, while Kelli O’Hara, Steven Pasquale, Hunter Foster and company are truly outdoing themselves vocally. Below, BroadwayBox reacts track-by-track, gif-by-gif to The Bridges of Madison County.
1. To Build a Home (Kelli O’Hara)
The first track is already better than half the CDs I own.
2. Home Before You Know It (Hunter Foster)
Nice way to change it up there JRB. Let’s get this going.
3. Temporarily Lost (Steven Pasquale)
That was sexy.
4. What Do You Call a Man Like That? (Kelli O’Hara)
Gosh, Kelli O’Hara’s voice just soars in this score.
5. You’re Never Alone (Hunter Foster and Company)
Damn, Hunter Foster sounds so good!
6. Another Life (Whitney Bashor)
Oh, this song is so special. Even Joni would give it up for Whitney Bashor and Jason Robert Brown right now.
7. Wondering (Steven Pasquale)
8. Look At Me (Kelli O’Hara & Steven Pasquale)
The music and vocals are so beautiful. It’s all so romantic.
9. The World Inside a Frame (Steven Pasquale)
But seriously, when has Steven Pasquale sounded better? (Sorry ‘Streets of Dublin’—still love you.)
10. Something From a Dream (Hunter Foster)
No, I won’t cry right now. Even though this is so beautiful and smart and heartbreaking and real. Wow.
11. Get Closer (Cass Morgan)
Sing it mama, Cass.
12. Falling Into You
Give me a moment. I’m down for the count after that.
13. State Road 21 (Derek Klena, Caitlin Kinnunen, Katie Klaus & Company)
Kitty got it right. This song makes you just want to dance in the middle of a hoedown like no one is watching.
14. Who We Are And Who We Want To Be (Steven Pasquale)
15. Almost Real (Kelli O’Hara)
I’ve never done more than one GIF per track but I feel all these just about scratch the surface of what Kelli O’Hara is doing in this song.
Who else on Broadway has this moment this season? #Speechless.
16. Before and After You (Kelli O’Hara)
What a tease. Great appetizer, now let’s get to the meal.
17. One Second and a Million Miles (Steven Pasquale & Kelli O’Hara)
That was unbelievable. If you haven’t seen it live yet, you must.
It’s like a dog in Heaven just making it rain, but for your ears…and heart.
18. When I’m Gone (Michael X. Martin, Hunter Foster & Company)
19. It All Fades Away (Steven Pasquale)
20. Always Better (Kelli O’Hara & Steven Pasquale)
That was more than a listening; it was an experience. If you are adding only one new album from this season to your cast recording collection, this is it.
