David Byrne Releases ‘American Utopia’ Broadway Cast Album

David Byrne and Nonesuch Records released the cast album to Byrne’s critically acclaimed Broadway show David Byrne’s American Utopia. The record is available now on streaming platforms and will see a physical release on November 22 via Nonesuch.

David Byrne’s studio album American Utopia arrived in 2018 and received a Grammy nomination.

After a run in Boston and previews, David Byrne’s American Utopia officially opened on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre on October 20. The cast features Byrne along with Jacquelene Acevedo, Gustavo Di Dalva, Daniel Freedman, Chris Giarmo, Tim Keiper, Tendayi Kuumba, Karl Mansfield, Mauro Refosco, Stéphane San Juan, Angie Swan and Bobby Wooten III. Davi Viera is also featured on the album.

The production team includes sound and lighting by Pete Keppler and Rob Sinclair respectively with choreography by Annie-B Parson. The show will see six performances a week and run until January 19, 2020. Head here for ticket information.
