Josh Groban to Release Live CD/DVD of Critically Acclaimed "Awake" Tour on May 6th, 2008

"Awake Live" Captures Groban's Electrifying Concert Experience That Has Made Him a Worldwide Sensation; DVD Features Smash Singles "You Raise Me Up," "You Are Loved," and "February Song"

BURBANK, CA--(Marketwire - March 31, 2008) - Internationally-renowned vocalist Josh Groban will release a brand-new live CD/DVD -- titled "Awake Live" -- on Reprise/143 Records on May 6th, 2008. Directed by Hamish Hamilton, "Awake Live" captures Groban's exhilarating performance at Salt Lake City's EnergySolutions Arena before a sold-out crowd of 15,000 thrilled fans on August 28th, 2007. In its review of the tour, the New York Times raved that Groban has "the power to knock the arena senseless."

While the DVD includes favorites from Groban's three best-selling albums, including "Canto Alla Vita" and "Alla Luce del Sole" from his double-platinum self-titled 2001 debut, and "You Raise Me Up" and "Remember When It Rained" from the multi-platinum 2003 album "Closer," the majority of the songs are from "Awake," including the singles "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)," "February Song," and "Lullaby." Released in September 2006, "Awake" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard album chart and has sold more than two million copies in the U.S. The DVD contains the entire 100-minute concert from Salt Lake City, as well as behind-the-scenes "Making of the Tour" footage. Groban launched the "Awake" tour in Verona, NY, in February 2007 and performed at sold-out arenas across the country before concluding the first U.S. leg in April 2007 in Las Vegas. After a European leg, the tour resumed in the States in July for 27 more North American dates through early September 2007.

The full track-listing for "Awake Live" is as follows:

CD:
Mai / February Song / In Her Eyes / So She Dances / Un Dia Llegara / Pearls / Weeping / Machine / Awake

DVD:
You Are Loved (Don't Give Up) / Mai / Un Dia Llegara / Un Giorno Per Noir / Now or Never / So She Dances / February Song / Alla Luce del Sole / Aurora (featuring Lucia Micarelli) / Kashmir (featuring Lucia Micarelli) / In Her Eyes / Pearls (featuring Angelique Kidjo) / L'Ultima Notte / Remember When It Rained / Lullaby / Weeping / Machine / Canto Alla Vita / You Raise Me Up / Awake

Josh Groban "Phantom of the Opera"

Josh Groban as "Phantom" in "Phantom of the Opera"? Last year when we posted our "Music of the Night Video" on YouTube and our "All I Ask of You" videos, we asked the question "will Josh be the next Phantom?" -- read on...

Exclusive: Lee Mead is set to play Raoul in an exclusive concert performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall.

Lee Mead on BBC One's Any Dream Will Do
The show is to be broadcast by BBC Radio 2 and is one of several events being staged by the Corporation over the year to mark Lloyd Webber’s 60th birthday on March 22.

Securing the rights for Phantom to be performed in a concert format is a worldwide first for BBC Radio 2, because the composer has not previously allowed the show to be performed outside its official theatre productions.

Mead was an understudy for Raoul in the West End production of The Phantom of the Opera before he won the BBC show Any Dream Will Do. While casting for the Albert Hall show has yet to be confirmed, a source close to the actor said a part in the concert was “on the cards”.

If he takes the role, Mead is likely to appear alongside American pop star Josh Groban, who is understood to be lined up to play the title role of the Phantom in the concert.

The singer [Josh Groban] is also set to appear in a concert version of the musical Chess, being held in May - also at the Royal Albert Hall. ...more...

Josh Groban "Freedom" ..."The Voice"

Josh Groban's beautiful voice and depth of soul speaks to the heart and in a time of trouble, unrest, and indecision, he brings the message of what freedom is about through this incredible musical performance. It is, as we say, remembering what we are about and why we are who we are! Get your hankies ready!
