Malcolm Gets

Broadway and TV actor Gets' debut disc is arranged, orchestrated and produced by John McDaniel. Gets (TV's "Caroline in the City, Amour on Broadway and Merrily We Roll Along Off-Broadway) will also be heard on the label's original Broadway cast recording of The Story of My Life, co-starring Will Chase, also in stores on June 2.

According to the label, "Malcolm Gets has often said that his career happened because of the record cabinet in his parents' living room — specifically, the cast albums of the 1950s and '60s that they stored there. Gets was studying to be a classical pianist, but instead of practicing, he would end up playing selections by Rodgers & Hammerstein. Now Gets retraces his musical roots in his debut album. Rediscovering his musical touchstones, he digs deep into beloved classics, takes on anthems both raucous and romantic, and mines the passion and pathos in newer ballads like William Finn's 'Anytime' and the title track."

Gets' Amour co-star Melissa Errico joins him on "Blue Skies"/"It's a Lovely Day Today."
