New Lea Music!
Posted by Ali in Jul 22,2011 with No Comments
I am excited to share that Billboard.com has published that there will be new music from Lea’s upcoming project Dorothy of Oz to be released at Comic Con this week that will feature Lea’s vocal talents.
Next, year, Sony will release the soundtrack to the 3D animated musical “Dorothy of Oz,” but the film’s songs will be unveiled this Saturday (July 23) at Comic-Con in San Diego. The film, which features “Glee” star Lea Michele in the title role, is penciled in for an early spring release.
Bryan Adams has written several original songs for the film with his co-writer Jim Vallance, as has Tift Merritt. Mike Himelstein is providing lyrics, with additional songs and lyrics from Jim Dooley. Composer, orchestrator and arranger Deborah Lurie (“Prom,” “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never”) and engineer/producer Gustavo Borner are also part of the creative team.
Besides Michele, the album will feature performances by Megan Hilty (star of NBC’s midseason musical “Smash”), Hugh Dancy and Martin Short. Adams also contributes vocals and will voice/sing the role of Beaver Foreman in the film. Vicki Hiatt is the music supervisor.
The Comic Con Schedule for Dorothy of Oz is set for Saturday evening.
