Harps and Angels, the new musical featuring the music and lyrics of Randy Newman, begins previews today at the Music Center's Mark Taper Forum in downtown Los Angeles. The show opens officially on November 21 and runs through December 22.

Though it shares its name with Newman's latest Nonesuch release, 2008's Harps and Angels, the new production includes both songs from that album and favorites from throughout his career, including "Political Science," "I Think It's Going to Rain Today," "You Can Leave Your Hat On," "Feels Like Home," and, particularly fitting given the venue, "I Love L.A." (Many of these songs can also be heard on Newman's Nonesuch debut, Songbook Vol. 1, in which the famed singer-songwriter revisits his earlier work via a piano-and-voice solo set.)

The show Harps and Angels, conceived by Jack Viertel, is directed by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks, with Katey Sagal and Michael McKean leading an ensemble cast that also includes Ryder Bach, Storm Large, Adriane Lenox, and Matthew Saldivar.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
