From the Drama Desk Award–nominated creators of Broadway's The Story of My Life comes The Theory of Relativity, a new musical written for and about college-age youth. Much in the style of A Chorus Line, composer/lyricist Neil Bartram and bookwriter Brian Hill sat down with a group of young actors and listened to their hilarious and heartbreaking stories about home, childhood, family, love and loss. Inspired by these stories, they have crafted an emotional and highly accessible show that explores the profound sense of connection in these diverse personal narratives. Brimming with youthful exuberance and quirkiness, Bartram's score gives unique voice to that awkward dance to adulthood while upending familiar themes in unexpected ways. In its first year alone, The Theory of Relativity has played to packed houses in London, Toronto and across the United States. Now PS Classics has assembled the very best new voices from among its many casts for this world premiere recording. The Theory of Relativity is a joyous musical exploration of the communities we build out of our shared experiences.

In May of 2012, the Metropolitan Museum of Art requested permission from PS Classics to include “Broadway Baby” in an upcoming compilation disc. Because the track on the New Broadway Cast Recording includes brief reprises of other tunes, Jayne Houdyshell kindly went back into the studio to record a new solo ending.
