The show, about the notorious thrill killers, has book, music and lyrics by Stephen Dolginoff. With no apparent motive, the title characters killed a young boy in 1924 in Chicago, shocking the nation.

The New York cast album CD preserves the performances of Christopher Totten as Nathan Leopold and Matthew S. Morris as Richard Loeb as presented in the Fourth Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival, produced by Jim Kierstead and directed by Martin Charnin.

The entire Midtown Festival run of the show was sold out and extended.

This is not the first recording of Thrill Me. In 1997, OC Records released a concept CD of an early version of the score.

The disc will be available at Footlight Records and www.footlight.com; www.originalcastrecords.com and at other retail record stores and online outlets. For more information, visit www.thrillmethemusical.com. *
