Original Cast Recording of Gavin Creel’s WALK ON THROUGH: LIVE AT MCC to have digital release
The highly anticipated Original Cast Recording of Gavin Creel’s acclaimed theatrical production of Walk on Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice will be released on 30 September on all major digital streaming platforms under the title Walk on Through: Live at MCC.
Recorded live at MCC Theater’s Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater just days before the final performance of the sold-out, extended Off-Broadway run, the album captures the vibrant spirit, intimate storytelling, and infectious music of Creel’s theatrical songwriting debut.
The album features 25 tracks, including 16 original songs and selections of dialogue chronicling Creel’s whimsical and deeply personal journey through The Metropolitan Museum of Art. A blend of pop, theatricality, and humour, Walk on Through: Live at MCC explores what it means to engage with art, creativity, and identity—even when you’ve never set foot in a museum before.
The original cast recording features Tony Award Winner Gavin Creel, alongside Sasha Allen (Hair), Madeline Benson (Waitress), Chris Peters (Chris Peters, Grown-Up Singer), Corey Rawls (The Secret Life of Bees), Ryan Vasquez (The Notebook), and Scott Wasserman (Hamilton).
Orchestrations and arrangements are by Benson, Peters, Rawls, and Wasserman, with electronic music design by Wasserman, and production sound design by Alex Neumann.
Creel, who passed away on 30 September 2024, poured his heart, humour, and humanity into this project. Walk on Through: Live at MCC stands as both a personal legacy and a tribute to the transformative power of art.
Co-producer Sara Bareilles said: “This show was Gavin’s love letter to curiosity, creativity, and connection. It’s impossible to hear these songs without feeling his spirit—generous, inquisitive, and full of joy.”
