Joseph Thalken, Luker's frequent music director, will conduct the disc, which will be her first solo recording in over five years — since "Leaving Home," a PS Classics release from 2004.

Tommy Krasker, co-founder of PS Classics, is producing the recording for an early fall release date.

Exact repertoire was not announced, but Krasker said "the composers range from Jule Styne and John Kander to Ricky Ian Gordon and Jeff Blumenkrantz."

Krasker added, "The impulse for the album stemmed from a half-dozen songs Rebecca's performed — to great acclaim — in concerts, clubs and on stage in the last several years. She has such passion for that material, the album pretty much evolved from there. It's a rich collection."

On Broadway, Luker has played major roles in the American musical theatre canon, including Magnolia, Maria and Marian. She starred as Marian Paroo in The Music Man (Tony Award nomination, Drama Desk Award nomination and Outer Critics Circle Award nomination), Maria in The Sound of Music (Outer Critics Circle Award nomination), Magnolia in Show Boat (Tony Award nomination), Lily in The Secret Garden (Drama Desk Award Nomination) and Christine in The Phantom of The Opera. Prior to Poppins, she appeared as Claudia Nardi, opposite Antonio Banderas in the Tony Award-winning revival of Nine: The Musical. Her recordings include two solo albums, "Anything Goes: Rebecca Luker Sings Cole Porter" and "Leaving Home." She has also appeared on the PS Classics discs "Jule Styne in Hollywood" and, most recently, the world premiere recording of "Dear Edwina." *
