The Gilded Age is dropping an album

The Gilded Age may boast a cast that’s full of Broadway stars, and its characters may spend an inordinate amount of time at the opera, but actual singing in the series is cruelly limited. Well, season four is finally taking steps to ameliorate this, though it’s stopping short of an actual musical episode. This morning, we learned that the cast of The Gilded Age, will release a Christmas album, featuring the vocal talents of several musical theater vets including Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Donna Murphy, Kelli O’Hara, Laura Benanti, and more, plus Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector apparently reciting a poem. Nathan Lane isn’t here, which is a bummer, but we get Christine Baranski as Agnes van Rhijn playing Auntie Mame, which is a pretty inspired idea. 

Voices Of The Gilded Age: The Christmas Album debuts on November 6, just after the series returns for its fourth season on November 1. The season has already promised plenty of action for the cast members whose voices didn’t make it on the album, including Cynthia Nixon and Kelley Curran’s delightfully scheming and social climbing former maid Mrs. Enid Winterton. Take a look at the album’s track list below, via IndieWire.
