Paul Gordon's new musical The Gospel According to Heather will release an Off-Broadway cast recording through JAY Records. The production, which recently extended its run at Theatre 555, began performances June 14 and officially opened June 22. The limited run continues through July 16. A release date for the cast recording, which will be produced by John Yap, will be announced soon.
In The Gospel According to Heather, Heather Krebs wants a boyfriend, but how can she navigate her way through high school if she might be the new Messiah? A small town in Ohio grapples with politics, religion, and teenage romance in the pop musical featuring a book, music, and lyrics by Tony nominee Gordon (Jane Eyre).
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
