Josh Groban returns to PBS in an
all-new television special based on his latest album,
Stages, which explores one of Josh's earliest musical
loves — Broadway and Broadway musicals. Recorded before a live
audience at the historic Los Angeles Theater in downtown L.A.,
JOSH GROBAN: STAGES LIVE
brings some of the most iconic songs in the Broadway musical
songbook to life. JOSH GROBAN:
STAGES LIVE is part of special programming premiering on PBS
stations beginning November 28,
2015 (check local listings).
Groban will make several television appearances in the coming
weeks including Live! with Kelly and Michael on Nov. 24, The Talk on Dec.11 and The
Late Late Show with James Corden
on Dec. 14 and Good Morning
America later in December.
Stages is a collection of some of the greatest musical
theater songs of all time, which Groban describes as "gorgeously
arranged songs that have stood the test of time," and which he was
drawn to because of their combination of "incredible melody with an
incredible story." The album is out now and has already been
certified Gold by the RIAA.
Recorded with producers Humberto
Gatica and Bernie Herms in
both Los Angeles and London's Abbey Road (with a 75-piece
orchestra), Stages features songs from Les Misérables
("Bring Him Home"); Rodgers and Hammerstein's
Carousel ("You'll Never Walk Alone"); Stephen
Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George ("Finishing the Hat"),
Sweeney Todd ("Not While I'm Around") and Into the
Woods ("Children Will Listen"); The Fantasticks
("Try to Remember"); A Chorus Line ("What I Did
For Love"); Andrew Lloyd
Webber's Phantom of the Opera ("All I Ask of
You"), The Wizard of Oz ("Over the Rainbow"), and
others. Another highlight is "Pure Imagination," originally
sung by Gene Wilder in the film
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate
Factory. Watch the album trailer for Stages here.
Sarah McLachlan is one of
the most celebrated singer songwriters in entertainment with over
40 million albums sold worldwide. She is an eight-time Juno Award
winner and a three-time Grammy Award winner. McLachlan's landmark
fifth album, the 10x-platinum Surfacing, contained two
Grammy Award-winning tracks, "Building a Mystery" and "Last
Dance." Her most recent album, Shine On, explores
her personal journey over the last three years navigating love,
loss and change. Shine On celebrates the human ability
to grow from our experiences, thrive and shine on.
