New cast members included Michelle Mais (Tryshia), P.M. Howard and Joel Traywick   (who went on to be nominated for the Theatre LA Ovation Award for Featured Actor). The musical was produced at the Tristan Bates Theatre, London, from September 25, 2012 to October 27. Directed by Guy Retallack, Darren Day stars as Gideon. A recording of this production was made by JAY Records. An original cast album was recorded with elaborate packaging and a vocal selections book was published by Cherry Lane Music. The "CurtainUp" reviewer of the 1997 Off-Broadway production called the musical "life affirming" and wrote: "'The Last Session' combines an affecting story, songs you'll want to hear again... it's original and funny, enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable. It is not a depressing show about a disturbing subject." The "Variety" review of the 1998 Los Angeles production called the musical "cathartic and often hilarious musical". The show continues to receive productions including such cities as Baltimore (1999); Rochester NY; Uptown Players at Trinity River Arts Center, Dallas in 2002(which also recorded a cast album); Omaha (1999); Denver, Chicago and Indianapolis (which also recorded their own cast album). Brochu and Schalchlin have created another musical, which, among other things, traces the history of "The Last Session" titled "The Big Voice: God or Merman?". The musical ran Off-Broadway in 2006. Composer Steve Schalchlin maintains his online diary called "Living In The Bonus Round".
