Produced by Liza Minnelli (who is also co-producer of the live show) and co-creator Tomas Costanza, with Nicholas Kaiser as executive producer, "DRAG: The Musical LIVE (The Cast Recording)" will allow fans who have fallen in love with the raucous, empowering and joyous show to relive the magic over and over again.

Liza has won an Emmy, an Oscar and three Tonys in competition, but has yet to win a Grammy in competition. In 1990, Liza was given a Grammy Legend Award, so her EGOT status comes with an asterisk.

"From the moment I got involved with 'DRAG: The Musical,' I knew it was something special – bold ... brave ... bursting with heart and music that is all about love. The songs here will make you laugh and cry," said the iconic Liza Minnelli. "This entire experience and adventure helps you find yourself. Producing this exquisite live album with Tomas is a joy, because he's a genius surrounded by a brilliant cast and company, and because it captures that electric energy you only get in a theater full of love, laughter, and lashes.

"This is a fabulous family show. It celebrates childhood innocence, adult tsuris and gorgeous glitter! Darling, this cast sings their faces off – and I couldn't be prouder to help bring this art into the world."

"KISS' 'Alive II' and Cheap Trick's 'Live at Budokan' were everything to me when I was a kid," shared Tomas Costanza. "Those live albums made it feel like the concert was happening right in my bedroom – loud and messy. That's exactly what rock 'n' roll is supposed to be. So when Liza and I started working on the 'DRAG: The Musical' cast album, we knew we wanted to bring that same kind of energy. No overdubs, no polish – just the raw excitement of the show, captured live and delivered straight to your phone like you're right there in the front row."

Including two songs new to the production, "One of the Boys" and "The Showdown," DRAG: The Musical LIVE (The Cast Recording) features show creator and drag legend Alaska Thunderf*ck and the iconic Liza Minnelli, as well as a mix of performers who brought the show to life throughout its off-Broadway run including Nick Adams, Adam Pascal, Eddie Korbich, J. Elaine Marcos, Jan Sport, Jujubee, Lagoona Bloo, Tamika Lawrence, Luxx Noir London, Nick Laughlin, Beau Coddou, Dylan Patterson, Cameron Mitchell Bell, Kodiak Thompson, Peli Naomi Woods, Nicholas Kraft and Teddy Wilson Jr. The album is also engineered by two-time Tony-nominee Drew Levy and mixed by Davey Badiuk.

"I'm so excited about this live album. The vocals kick ass, and the crowd couldn't be more amazing," said Alaska. "It's just like being in the audience. I'm especially excited about 'One of the Boys,' because this is the first-ever recording of this song, and it's one of my favorites. Thank you to everyone in the cast and crew who made this amazing album possible!"

"DRAG: The Musical," written by Alaska alongside Costanza and frequent collaborator Ashley Gordon, tells the tale of two rival drag bars coming to blows amidst financial struggles. But underneath the glamorous costumes (courtesy of legendary designer Marco Marco), beautiful wigs, and exquisite makeup is a story of acceptance, self-identity, and the power of community.

And armed with music that emulsifies the energies of Queen, Meatloaf, The New York Dolls, and The Rocky Horror Show, "DRAG: The Musical" became a buzzed-about smash hit when it came to Off-Broadway this past October (following two successful runs at Los Angeles' The Bourbon Room, and an initial studio soundtrack recording which predated the stage show).

Since landing in Manhattan, the show has earned critical acclaim, with The New Yorker saying "'DRAG: The Musical' delivers the goods, with some rock and roll to boot," Billboard praising it as "radically honest," and The Huffington Post adding that it "has plenty of sequins and sass. It might just make you cry, too."

The show caught major national attention with the likes of New York Times, NPR, People Magazine, PAPER and Variety, and has been visited by superstars like Chappell Roan, Adam Lambert, Alex Newell, Bob the Drag Queen, Orville Peck, and more! In addition to the all-star cast featured on the forthcoming live cast recording, "DRAG: The Musical's" NYC run also featured performances by Joey McIntyre and JIMBO, and the show recently won special recognition from the GLAAD Media Awards and scored six Lucille Lortel Award nominations.

"Drag the Musical" concludes its run at New World Stages on April 27. For more information, click here.
