In A Competitive Grammy Season, Once Comes Out On Top Winning The Best Musical Theater Album Honor At The 55Th Annual Grammy Awards
"Once" Wins Best Musical Theater Album
The winners of the 55th Annual Grammy Awards have been announced, and the Best Musical Tony Award-winning Once came out on top with the Best Musical Theater Album honor.
Produced by Steven Epstein and Martin Lowe (also the show's music supervisor and Tony winning orchestrator), the original cast recording was released on the Masterworks label and features the talents of singers Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti, among others.
Written By Glen Hansard And Marketa Irglova
The show's songs were written by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Once's competition in the Grammy's Musical Theater Album category were four other Broadway show recordings.
Among them were the albums for last season's acclaimed revivals of Follies and Porgy and Bess, both on the PS Classics label. The other nominated Broadway show recordings were the current hit Broadway musicals, Newsies and Nice Work If You Can Get It.
