Deborah Gibson, who was most recently on Broadway as Sally Bowles in the Tony-winning revival of Cabaret, is currently putting the final touches on a new recording for Fynsworth Alley.

Gibson's currently untitled CD will be her first that salutes the music of Broadway. The former pop star will feature songs from musicals she has starred in—Les Miserables, Funny Girl, Gypsy, Cabaret—as well as those she has not: The Wild Party, Rags, The Rink, Flower Drum Song and The Boy from Oz. The CD — scheduled for an Oct. 28 release — will also include the song "Sex," a tune from Skirts, the musical the singer-actress is currently writing.
