News People Like Us — with Matt Bogart — to Be Recorded The new musical People Like Us, which was presented in September at the Barrow Group Theatre as part of the New York Music Theatre Festival, will be recorded for CD release.

Matt Bogart and Pamela Bob co-starred in the musical, and Bogart’s official website says the duo will record the score in April for future release on the Jay Records label.

People Like Us features book and lyrics by Todd Almond and Gus Kaikkonen and music by Almond. Kaikkonen also directed the recent New York production.

The musical, according to production notes, concerns "Pam, who left Matt at the altar almost ten years ago [and] has since begun a successful career at NYU; Matt has become a famous television and movie star. After a chance meeting years later, can they compromise their professional aspirations for their heart's desire? In life, which element rules supreme: love or career? How can two people be together when they are a world apart?"
