It’s time to get Randy!
Three time Emmy® nominee Randy Rainbow’s much anticipated studio album is out now on Broadway Records – hear it on Matinee Radio!
Broadway Records have released Randy Rainbow’s debut full-length solo album, “A Little Brains, A Little Talent.” The album will be available digitally and physically everywhere music is sold and is available online at BroadwayRecords.com, Amazon and BarnesAndNoble.com.
On his first full-length studio album, “A Little Brains, A Little Talent”, three-time Emmy-nominated comedian, actor, vocalist and viral star Randy Rainbow delivers a glittery potpourri of Broadway standards, popular parodies, and other surprises. With two brand new original songs (“Pink Glasses”, written by Alan Menken and Randy Rainbow, and “Randy Rainbow for President!”, written by Marc Shaiman and Randy Rainbow), the album also features guest stars Tituss Burgess, Josh Gad, Sean Hayes, Patti LuPone, and Bernadette Peters.
Randy Rainbow is a three-time EMMY® nominated American comedian, producer, actor, singer, writer, and satirist known for his popular YouTube series, The Randy Rainbow Show. His musical parodies and political spoofs have garnered him worldwide acclaim and two EMMY® nominations for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series. In 2019 he landed a spot on The New York Times Best Performances list, and in 2020 he was awarded Best Parody in the Washington Post. Rainbow (yes, that’s his real name) enjoys a star-studded fan base that regularly retweets and shares his work. Some notable admirers include Ryan Reynolds, Carol Burnett, Debra Messing, John Legend, Mark Hamill, Hillary Clinton, Stephen Sondheim, Patti LuPone, Jane Lynch, Ana Navarro, Barry Manilow, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Julie Andrews, Rosie O’Donnell, Martin Short, Lin-Manuel Miranda and, Steve Martin. In 2019, Randy collaborated with TONY, GRAMMY, and EMMY®-winning composer and lyricist Marc Shaiman, on his first studio album, Hey Gurl, It’s Christmas!, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Comedy chart and #1 on iTunes Holiday chart. Touring the U.S. to sold-out crowds, the influencer and Internet sensation’s viral comedy videos have received hundreds of millions of views across all social media and digital platforms. His fresh take on politics and current events has led to interviews and profiles by such venerable media outlets as The Washington Post (magazine cover story), The Hollywood Reporter, CNN, NPR, ABC News, OUT, People, and Entertainment Weekly. American author and media pundit Dan Savage called him “the best thing to come from the GOP race.” In a recent article, Forbes Magazine pondered, “Why Randy Rainbow, The Muppets, and The Avengers Should Host the Oscars.” As The Washington Post noted, Randy Rainbow has found his own spotlight through the Internet, emerging as a viral sensation who dispenses musical-comedy salve for a divided nation. He is currently working on several projects, including a memoir, to be released April in 2022.
“A Little Brains, A Little Talent” is produced by Michael J Moritz Jr and Randy Rainbow and orchestrated by Michael J Moritz Jr. The album is arranged by Jesse Kissel and executive produced by Van Dean, Brian Spector, and Jesse Kissel.
