Musical Theatre Radio presents "Be Our Guest"

Bordello is a new musical inspired by the true story of Raquel Liberman, a Jewish immigrant who risks everything to expose an international sex-trafficking organization.Listen to Album

Set in the summer of 2002 in Los Angeles, the story follows two sisters, Jaz and Nikki, who audition for an outrageous and wildly popular TV talent show called Star Machine.

It  was love at first sight when Jesse and Lydia met at a college party in 1974. Soon enough, they were one of many couples in the generation thrown into new gender roles: two careers, shared parenting —and with that, new stresses, conflict, and pressures.

When Lydia dies of cancer in her late fifties, Jesse is devastated by grief and remorse that he had allowed his all-consuming career to take priority over his love for Lydia. After lashing out at work, he is told he must begin therapy.

We meet Jesse as he begins seeing Dr. Carrie Little, a therapist who has little patience for his skepticism and unwillingness to engage. Through their work, Jesse discovers that he can examine his failings and regrets with unsparing honesty by writing original songs. Finally ready to try again, 65 years old and a bit lost in a dating world with new rules, Jesse sets out on an occasionally awkward, often comic, and always tender search to find love anew.

When a mysterious pirate takes lodging at the inn run by Jim's mother, it sets in motion the adventure of a lifetime.

On his deathbed, the infamous Billy Bones entrusts Jim with a map to the legendary Treasure Island. With the help of a well-meaning — and slightly bumbling — doctor, Jim sets sail in search of buried treasure and the promise of something greater.

But not everyone aboard can be trusted. A motley crew of pirates plot and deceive as the journey unfolds — yet Jim's kindness and courage begin to soften even the toughest hearts, including that of the formidable Long John Silver.

This lively, pantomime-inspired adaptation of the classic tale is filled with humour, audience interaction, and larger-than-life characters.

Also represented are selections from classic musicals such as Company (“Being Alive’) and Annie Get Your Gun (“I Got the Sun in the Morning”), in addition to newer works like The Notebook (“My Days”) and Violet (“Let It Sing”). The album’s title number, a world premiere recording from the new musical Far from Canterbury, has music and lyrics by Danny K. Bernstein.

“Growing up, I always felt most understood by the melodies of musical theater,” says Kennedy. “I would lose myself in those stories and, for a little while, become the hero — the one who saves herself and those around her. She laughed without fear of the future, loved fiercely, and faced the world as her truest self. This album is for her. If I’ve learned anything, it’s how easy it is to let fear and self-doubt keep us from becoming who we’re meant to be. That’s part of being human. But eventually, we all have a choice: to keep shrinking ourselves or to step into the person our younger selves always believed we could become.”

“This album is my invitation to choose courage,” she continues. “It’s a love letter to the music that shaped me — from Broadway and beyond — and a celebration of the stories that remind us who we are. In a world that can feel heavy, my hope is that these songs bring a little more joy, a little more hope, and a little more light. If someone walks away feeling seen, inspired, or simply believing in themselves again, then this album has already become everything I hoped it would be. May these songs remind us that our story is still unfolding. This is just the beginning.”
