The original Broadway cast recording of Two Gentlemen of Verona, which won the 1972 Tony Award for Best Musical, will be available in stores (and on CD) May 14.

Starring Raul Julia and Clifton Davis, the newly remastered recording features over 78 minutes of music as well as original cover art, photographs and a new synopsis and essay.
