The recording captures Working‘s recent London premiere, which enjoyed an acclaimed run in summer 2017 at Southwark Playhouse. The cast includes Gillian Bevan, Dean Chisnall, Krysten Cummings, Siubhan Harrison, Peter Polycarpou, and Liam Tamne, as well as Patrick Coulter, Nicola Espallardo, Izuka Hoyle, Luke Latchman, Huon Mackley, and Kerri Norville.

The album was recorded live at Southwark Playhouse with additional recordings at Abbey Road Studios. New orchestrations are by Alex Lacaimore (Hamilton) with additional orchestrations by Martin Higgins.

In a statement, composer Schwartz said, “I’m delighted that not only has this superb cast of Working been preserved, but that there is finally an album that includes the wonderful new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. For me, an album of this new version of the show is long overdue and very welcome.”
