Heaven is a place on Earth…when you’re listening to the original Broadway cast recording of Head Over Heels.
That anthem will be available everywhere beginning Friday, when the original Broadway cast recording launches on digital platforms (a physical release will be available beginning Nov. 9). The album also includes a bonus for fans of the Go-Go’s, the most successful female rock band of all time — the first new studio recording from the group in over 17 years.
EW has an exclusive first listen of three tracks from the cast album below, including The Go-Go’s new recording of “This Town.” “This Town” remains one of The Go-Go’s most popular tracks and the new recording of the song features the talents of band members Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Gina Schock, Kathy Valentine, and Jane Wiedlin.
Head Over Heels features 18 of The Go-Go’s most beloved songs, as well as two of Carlisle’s solo hits, in a musical based on Renaissance poet Sir Philip Sidney’s Arcadia. The show follows a royal family cast out from their kingdom as they hunt for their lost “beat” and attempt to prevent the potentially horrifying circumstances of a mysterious prophecy from coming true.
Take a listen below, and you can preorder the album here.
