The New On the Twentieth Century Revival Cast Recording Is …
Roundabout Theatre Company’s joyful revival of On the Twentieth Century (starring Tony winners Kristin Chenoweth and Mary Louise Wilson, Tony nominee Andy Karl and stage and screen star Peter Gallagher) has released a double-disc cast album, and it just makes you feel good to hear it! BroadwayBox dives in reacting in animated GIF to hearing each track for the first time. And since this Coleman, Comden and Green musical is all about a classic Hollywood starlet, the GIFS will all be throwbacks. Note: there is a ton of dialogue on the album so there’s only a GIF for tracks where there’s an actual song.

Disc One:

1. Overture(Orchestra)

On The Twentieth Century Cast Recording-

Ok settling in. Let’s start this thing.

9. "What is your name, child?..."

10. Veronique (Kristin Chenoweth & Company)

On The Twentieth Century Cast Recording-Veronique- Chenoweth
Your summer is not complete without this track on your iTunes. Chenoweth is going full out, guns blazing. She’s funny, her whole vocal range is on display, the ad-libs are super quotable and you can’t help but move while it’s on. “I know, calm down; calm down.”

11. Veronique Playoff (Orchestra)

On The Twentieth Century Cast Recording-
A showstopper so legit it got three tracks on the album.

This album just makes you smile. Cy Coleman’s tunes are infectious.

But really, when has an ensemble been more delightful?!

Another Cheno triumph.

20. I've Got It All (Kristin Chenoweth & Peter Gallagher)

Here it comes again.

2. Life Is Like a Train (Rick Faugno, Richard Riaz Yoder, Phillip Attmore & Drew King)

On The Twentieth Century Cast Recording- Andy Taylor

5. Five Zeros (Mary Louise Wilson, Peter Gallagher, Mark Linn-Baker & Michael McGrath)

13. Because of Her (Peter Gallagher)

On The Twentieth Century Cast Recording- Because of her- peter gallagher
It’s Oscar Jaffee’s big moment and Peter Gallagher delivers big time.
