Theatrical albums are recordings of music and songs from stage productions, particularly musicals. These albums capture the performances of the cast and often include orchestral arrangements, providing listeners with a way to experience the show's music outside of the theater. They can feature original cast recordings or revivals, showcasing the talent of performers like Lin-Manuel Miranda or Idina Menzel. These albums serve as a valuable resource for fans and theater enthusiasts, allowing them to enjoy the score and lyrics of their favorite shows. They also play a significant role in promoting theatrical works, helping to reach wider audiences and preserve the artistic expression of productions like Hamilton or Wicked.
