The recordings are excerpts from the score recorded in Matthew's studio and on the road with members of the cast. For you discophiles out there, "I Will Never Leave You" features Tom Wopat and Jenny Fellner and "What A Drag" features the incomparable Sarah Boggess (Ariel "A Little Mermaid" and Christine "Phantom"), Lindsey Mendez (Elphaba "Wicked") and Anne Letscher (Eponine "Les Miserables").
