Coming This Fall...

I can't wait to get my hands on this album. For the record? "Let's See What Happens" from Darling of the Day is one of my all-time favorite show songs. Release from PS Classics expected October 20. Kate Baldwin can also be seen onstage in the new Broadway revival of Finian's Rainbow and has just launched her official website. Plus, she's also featured on a studio cast album of a long-forgotten 1926 musical comedy Kitty's Kisses, also from PS Classics. So much to look forward to from this diva on the rise!

Her first solo album is a tribute to Finian's Rainbow's composer Burton Lane and lyricist E.Y. Harburg, an amalgamation of songs they wrote together and with other artists. The track list (courtesy of SarahB) is as follows:
