Music
In three whirlwind days this past winter, we laid down the foundational demos for WIN, recording eleven tracks that capture the heart and range of our score. #preparedtobeprepared
We’re excited to share a taste of the score--as well as the epic talents of the music team, the musicians, vocalists, and studio gurus--through these first sample clips. In the months ahead, we’ll post companion stories on our blog, exploring the history, humanity, talents, and creative sparks behind each number.
About the Music
The score for WIN is a sonic journey across a century of Americana, with a musical vocabulary that shifts with each era to capture the authentic sounds and vibes of the time. It balances grand spectacle with intimate, character-driven moments, weaving together a tapestry of public history and private humanity.

Act I's closing number, "You're the President Now," finds us back in the '70s...and the cusp of Ford's presidency:
Finally, here's an early slice of Betty's election-eve signature solo, "Winsome Times," our 11:00 number:
We'll be adding clips in the weeks ahead.
