At the 2019 Grammy Awards, the Tony-winning musical The Band's Visit took home the award for Best Musical Theater Album, in a category of nominees that included Carousel, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, My Fair Lady, and Once On This Island.
To celebrate, we're taking a look back at the history of the award for Best Musical Theater Album—spanning all the way back to 1959, when Meredith Wilson's The Music Man became the award's first ever recipient at the 1st Annual Grammy Awards.
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
Based on the novel and film by Frank Cottrell Boyce, the new musical will reunite Guettel with Tony-winning Light in the Piazza director Bartlett Sher.
