The Broadway Records cast recording of the current revival of the classic American musical Fiddler on the Roof, starring Danny Burstein as Tevye, will feature two special bonus tracks.
Adam Kantor (Motel) and Alexandra Silber (Tzeitel) have recorded “Dear Sweet Sewing Machine," marking the first time this song will be on an official Fiddler cast album. The song was written originally for Fiddler on the Roof by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, but was ultimately cut from the show after its first few previews out of town in Detroit. Harnick gave his approval when the opportunity arose to record it, as it remains a favorite song of his. New orchestrations for the song were written by Oran Eldor.
This is the second bonus track announced for the upcoming cast album. As previously reported, famed violinist Itzhak Perlman has recorded "Excerpts from Fiddler on the Roof," arranged by John Williams.
The new Broadway cast recording will be released March 18 and will be available to purchase at The Broadway Theatre beginning March 8. To pre-order the recording, visit the label's website. The album is being produced by David Lai, Ted Sperling and Louise Gund.
